Colm O'Neill says Cork require one of those huge displays if they to end Donegal's season on Saturday and advance through to the All-Ireland SFC quarter-finals.

Peader Healy's side are ranked as 2/1 outsiders against Rory Gallagher's beaten Ulster finalists but O'Neill, who came off the bench to hit 1-1 against Longford the last day, feels the Rebels are in a good place at the moment.

"There is serious competition for places all over the pitch and in every line. There's a nice mix there too of young and old lads," O'Neill told the Irish Examiner.

"Michael Hurley has been great. Peter Kelleher. And Sean Powter too. So we feel that we are coming together nicely. We just have to try and keep building now and I think we can do that.

"We have to go up here thinking we can win. Otherwise you are on a hiding to nothing and I think we will travel up and know we have a chance. Donegal are a very good team. We just have to bring it all together in one big performance."

Throw-in at Croke Park on Saturday is at 4pm.
