Eoin Cadogan believes Cork will have their work cur out against Limerick on Saturday night.

The Rebels travel to the Gaelic Grounds for the opening game of this year's Munster SFC and Cadogan predicts stern resistance from the hosts:

"Going to Limerick is always a tight battle, and we've had encounters when maybe we didn't deserve to get the win," he concedes in The Irish Times.

"They've John Galvin back, a huge influence in the middle of the field, and probably what makes them tick.

"I think the modern game has changed over the last couple of years. Anyone who says different is kidding themselves. You see teams that go orthodox, go man for man, get cleaned out.

"You saw the space that was created by Cavan on Sunday. So you're on a path to disaster, especially being left in a full-back line, with that amount of space. Then look at Donegal last year, with the amount of men back, it's very hard to get goals with that many bodies in front of goal.

"We've a different way ourselves. We'd like to think we're adaptable in our approach, can play in whatever style Conor Counihan requires of us on any given day. But one person's style might work one day and not the next.

"Over the last couple of years, there have been completely different styles of play, with teams that have won it. Different ways and different demeanours. And I think it is going to be constantly moving forward." Tweet
