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!

GAA Embedded: Championship Restructure Pros and Cons, With Cahair O'Kane

The Buildup, in association with Ladbrokes is our weekly podcast where we mark your card for the sporting action of the week ahead in the company of Ladbrokes ambassadors Kevin Doyle, Stephen Ferris, Jason Quigley, and other top sporting pundits. 
Kevin joins us this week after Stephen Kenny's perfect week. Kevin wanted a clean sheet and a goal from a forward. He got two clean sheets and seven goals in two games. We discuss how things have turned around for Ireland and what it means going forward. 
He also makes his Ladbrokes 1-2-Free picks, giving us his reaction to the Newcastle takeover and how it will affect the current squad, and why Tottenham fans should be very worried about the form of Harry Kane.
