Dublin would 'love to be tested' before entering the Super 8s, claims Coman Coggins.

The four-time Leinster winner believes that facile wins like their Leinster SFC quarter-final over Wicklow won't do Jim Gavin's team any good in the long run.

"Even if you ask the players, no player goes out wanting to win a game by 20-25 points, you want to go out and get tested, you want to go out and find something deep within you that helps you win a game," he remarked to the Irish Independent.

"So I'd say if you spoke to any of the guys that played against Wicklow they'd say, 'Ah yeah, look, we won the game' but there is no enjoyment in that for any guy who is playing.

"Particularly if you go on the road in the 'Super 8s', Kerry in Killarney, Monaghan in Clones or Mayo in Castlebar would be a big test of Dublin if you come through Leinster without having been asked questions.

"So they'd love to be tested I'm sure."
