John McGrath put more pressure on himself than he usually would ahead of Tipperary's Munster championship opener against Limerick this year in the knowledge that if he didn't take his chance, "it could be the last one you get for the summer."
Kilkenny's first 35 minutes against Waterford in the 2008 All-Ireland final set a high bar with Limerick's opening stanza in the 2021 decider against Cork coming close, but Tipperary's second-half showing against the Rebels tops the lot and is the greatest half in hurling history.
