Jim McGuinness says Mayo are "as well-placed as any of them" to win this year's All-Ireland.

Having surrendered their Connacht crown, Stephen Rochford's men have come through the back door to set up a semi-final meeting with Tipperary on Sunday.

"This is a crunch moment for them," McGuinness writes in The Irish Times.

"They're not perfect and they're not the finished article but they are now well- placed. You also have to ask the question, who is perfect?

"Even Dublin, for everything they bring, have probably one or two questions, which encourage other teams to think they can be got at. Kerry are not perfect either and Tipperary are a young team and inexperienced, so they're not perfect. Mayo are as well-placed as any of them."
