This is 15 for 50: The Hurling Edition.
We tasked three of the greatest minds in hurling - Anthony Daly, Anthony Nash and Liam Sheedy - to come up with a XV of the greatest hurlers the game has seen from the past 50 years to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the All-Stars!
Who will get into a stacked full forward line? Who misses out by the skin of their teeth? How many lads will be moved out of position to facilitate another?
It is a fascinating listen and, yes, the lads do come to an agreement in the end!

Over the course of the podcast, Martin delved into his role with the Waterford hurlers, how to get the most of an athletes performance and how impressive Tyrone's Conor Meyler truly is.

Rick Gehman of The First Cut Podcast on CBS Sports joins us this week to give the American side of the fascinating showdown at this weekend's Ryder Cup. Whistling Straits in Wisconsin is the venue as a rookie filled team of stars for the US takes on Padraig Harrington and a team of veterans. They go in as strong favourites, but what does that mean when it comes to the Ryder Cup? Very little, according to Rick!

This week, Shane is live from Croke Park straight after Limerick hammered Cork to win their 10th ever senior hurling title, and their third in four years. Was it the best display we've ever seen in a final? Can anyone even get close to this team in the next few years? Can Cork rebound from such a heavy defeat?

In Part Two, we're joined by our regular hurling analyst Shane McGrath, a former housemate of Canning, and by Galway's own Michael Lyster, the Sunday Game legend who represented the entire county in 2017 when the RTE cameras caught his celebration for Joe's famous semi-final point against Tipperary.

This week, Darran talks about a Cork team that might need to tear is all up after the second worst Munster final defeat of all time, and the worst in 102 years! Did Kerry get anything out of it? Why do Galway continue to flatter to deceive? And how Mayo have quietly reinvented themselves.
Shane then joins us to discuss Cork and Waterford advancing in the hurling qualifiers. What has happened to Galway? Will Clare be back?
We also look at the greatest jersey sponsors of all time (1.12.55) and PJ and Gary battle it out to guess the handicaps (1.14.52) for next weekend's games.

This week, Shane (0.58) looks back on an enthralling Munster Hurling Final, with Limerick securing three in a row thanks a second half blitz the likes of which we've rarely seen. Can anybody get in their way at that form?
Maybe Kilkenny? Given the horrendous personnel issues in the Dublin camp, it's hard to know much about where The Cats are right now. Or maybe a challenger will emerge from the qualifiers. Shane is very impressed with Clare after their big win in the stifling heat of Thurles on Saturday afternoon.
Maurice Brosnan then brings us Inside The Game (40.06) with reaction to Dublin footballers' looking vulnerable against Meath, and a stunning weekend of Ulster football. Hee also takes us through his Embedded article from last week Tyrone's more positive approach paying dividends.
We also look at the greatest GAA moustaches of all time (1.12.55) and PJ and Gary battle it out to guess the handicaps (1.14.52) for next weekend's games.

This week, Darran looks back on the game of the Championship so far as Donegal just outlasted local rivals Derry after an almighty scare. We talk about the weekend's "soft" red cards and how they are maybe not soft at all. As Kerry and Mayo march on, we also discuss the drab situation of seeing Leitrim beaten so comprehensively on live television.
Maurice Brosnan then brings us Inside The Game with reaction to the Hurling Qualifiers draw, Laois' hurling bounceback, why structures alone won't solve GAA inequality, and he also takes us through his Embedded article from last week on a Dublin cliché we shouldn't so easily dismiss.
