Jamie Wall and Malachy Clerkin of the Irish Times tell us why Waterford didn’t appeal Austin Gleeson’s red card and what lessons their best player still hasn’t learned; and we figure out if Cork have recovered from last year’s All-Ireland final humbling.

Plus we open a bulging mailbag after Murph wrote off Tyrone on Tuesday, and Ken’s eavesdropping reveals more nuggets of rugby wisdom.
