Championship season has arrived as John Mullane and Eddie Brennan join Michael Verney to preview this weekend’s opening round of Munster and Leinster action.

Eddie breaks down how Clare will use Tony Kelly in a match-up with a Limerick side who may be losing hunger aiming to lay siege to Ennis. He also reminisces about his own time with Kilkenny chasing five-in-a-row, and offers his advice as to what the Treaty men must avoid.

Meanwhile, John gives his Braveheart speech of the creeping optimism in Waterford as rivals Cork come to the ‘Costa del Déise’ for their opening duel which could ‘go to the wire’.
