10. Sam O'Farrell Rating: 5/10 O'Farrell had easily his least impactful performance in a Tipperary senior jersey to date. Had no impact on the game and his withdrawal before half-time tells you all you need to know about his day. Fitzgibbon commitment likely a contributing factor.

11. Andrew Ormond Rating: 5/10 Non-existent was Andrew Ormond as the game completely bypassed him. He simply could not get onto any possession - which is one of his strengths - and it was unsurprising that he fell foul of the half-time reshuffle.

12. Noel McGrath Rating: 8/10 Amongst a system meltdown, it is further credit to the 37-year old Loughmore Castleiney man that he shone in Thurles on Saturday. He was the only players trying to rise his teammates and he led by example with six points from play, and could have had more. A rare positive to take away from the game.

13. Darragh McCarthy Rating: 5/10 Along with O'Farrell, McCarthy had little influence, but did set up a good goal chance for Darragh Stakelum late in the first half. His missed penalty soon after summed up the Tipperary performance and the fatigue of the last 12 months seems to be affecting his ilk.
