Tómás Ó Sé says Dublin will relish tomorrow's trip to Nowlan Park.

The Dubs will open the defence of their Leinster and All-Ireland football titles against Laois at the Kilkenny venue in what is their first championship game outside Croke Park since 2006.

Despite their unfamiliarity with travelling outside the capital at this time of the year, Ó Sé can't see any slip-up by Jim Gavin's men.

"There's a lot of talk about it, Dublin's first game on the road in 10 years," the Kerry legend noted on RTÉ Radio 1's Morning Ireland programme.

"I don't think it will faze them. They won their three games on the road in the Allianz League and I think they will relish going down to Nowlan Park.

"It will fire them up and I think their supporters love travelling and this particular group of players under Jim Gavin, they won't like the talk of back-to-back, but they will continue their mantra of one game at a time.

"I don't think we'll learn too much about the Dubs.

He added: "Laois beat Wicklow handy enough in the first round, but I don't think they have the team to defend in numbers and counter-attack the Dubs."
