Mayo captain Keith Higgins says it doesn't get any bigger than facing Dublin in the latter stages of the championship at Croke Park.

Higgins will lead the Connacht champions into battle with Jim Gavin's team at HQ on Sunday in a repeat of the 2013 decider.

"Playing Dublin in front of 80,000 is as big as it gets. You think of that game and you get that adrenaline rush," the brilliant dual star tld RTE. "It's something to look forward to and embrace and it's where every player wants to play. We're lucky we're in that position now.

"We've played Dublin a good few times in the last few years between league and championship. There is a rivalry developing, but it's a healthy one and it brings out the best in both teams.

"People will say that Dublin had an easy path to get this far, but they are a quality side. For both teams, it's an All-Ireland semi-final at Croke Park and it's big stakes."
