Cathal Mullaney previews the last weekend of the Leinster and Munster Championship round robin on the hurling RTÉ GAA Podcast with Shane McGrath and Rory O'Neill, where this are big birthday celebrations and plenty of stories from the former Tipp hurler including one involving Cian Lynch and John 'Bubbles' O'Dwyer. 

Our panel run the rule over the trials and tribulations of six-in-a-row Leinster champions, Kilkenny. Can Dublin score just their second ever championship victory over the Black and Amber at Parnell Park this weekend?

On that note, is Leinster hurling now where it's at? Or, is Masters hurling the new crowd (or hamstring) puller?!

The thorny issue of player welfare and the duty of care to each other on the field raises its head once again after a couple of late hits prompted concerns last week.

Former Tipp star McGrath waxed lyrical about the skill and verve of Offaly's Eoin Cahill, made an old-school Simpsons reference and then signed off with a wonderful Cian Lynch story.

A bumper edition of your RTÉ Hurling podcast for the week that's in it.
