Shane Stapleton and Michael Verney preview all the big games this weekend: Tipperary v Limerick, Dublin v Kilkenny, Wexford v Galway, Cork v Waterford, and much more across the land.
This may go down as one of the best hurling weekends in living history.
Limerick and Dublin began their championship campaigns with victory over Clare and Laois respectively, and now a number of other sharks slip into the water this coming Saturday and Sunday.
At Pairc Ui Chaoimh, 2019 All-Ireland champions Tipperary clash with the side they usurped, the Treaty, while Cork lock horns with Waterford.
The Dubs’ reward for making it through to the Leinster semi-final was a meeting with Kilkenny, a side they have struggled to finish off in recent seasons.
Galway and Wexford promises to be a bruising encounter, as Davy Fitzgerald’s side defend their provincial title against Shane O’Neill’s brigade.
Shane Stapleton and Michael Verney preview all the big games, look at the tactical battles, potential match-ups, pore over statistics on the teams, and make their big predictions.
