With the Munster and Leinster Hurling Championships underway this weekend, All-Ireland winners Paul Murphy and James Skehill joined Will O’Callaghan to look ahead to the start of the Championship. 

They also discussed Shane O’Donnell potentially playing some part in Clare’s title defense, why Skehill snubbed the last round of The Masters, and predictions for all five of this weekend’s games.
