Two-time All-Ireland winner Donal Og Cusack says contenders for next year’s Liam MacCarthy Cup must adopt a different approach to halt Limerick’s bid for an unprecedented fifth consecutive triumph.

John Kiely’s men blew Kilkenny away with a sensational second-half display at Croke Park yesterday and, speaking on The Sunday Game, Cusack was considering how the Treaty men can be stopped in 2024.

"Is someone going to come up with something different?" the former Cork goalkeeper asked rhetorically.

"We're almost all living in Limerick's world here, playing the game that they're so comfortable at. In the first half there were some brilliant balls played out by the Kilkenny defence.

"Limerick were nearly happy that they were going for this type of game so it's going to be really interesting over the next couple of years.

"There's loads of different ways to play hurling and every great team brings their own way. Limerick have brought this way [so] will someone come up with a different way of taking them on?

"Because playing them at their own game hasn't worked for anyone over the last couple of years.”

Limerick's titans are transforming the game of hurling, according to Dónal Óg Cusack. #rtegaa #sundaygame pic.twitter.com/FbbdzkxRy3
