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! #15for50 See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Continuing on the coaching theme, this week Maurice chatted to Martin Bennett, sprint coach to the stars of the GAA. Over the course of the podcast, Martin delved into his role with the Waterford hurlers, how to get the most of an athletes performance and how impressive Tyrone's Conor Meyler truly is.

Mick and Maurice bring you this week's GAA Embedded. The lads discuss the jots of following the club season from afar in 2021, some outstanding performances of the club weekend, including a 39 year old JJ Delaney!

Mick and Maurice bring you this week's GAA Embedded discussing a top class club weekend, the continuing managerial appointments, and a striking plea from Maurice for the GAA Special Congress to adopt Proposal B in changing the structure of the football championship. We also discuss great players who were born in the wrong era and missed their county's golden age, and whether or not we dismiss the feats (and stats) of free takers far too easily.

Mick McCarthy and Maurice Brosnan are back with GAA Embedded as we dissect some of the biggest stories in what is fast becoming a 12 month GAA season. Is Jack O'Connor the right man for Kerry? Why do so many teams still have no manager so late in the year? We talk about Hurler of the Year and the joy of seeing county legends like Eoin Kelly still ripping it up at club level!

On the day the great Joe Canning retired from intercounty hurling, we have an emergency two part special of GAA Embedded today to talk about perhaps the best hurler of his generation and one of the best of all time. In Part Two, we're joined by our regular hurling analyst Shane McGrath, a former housemate of Canning, and by Galway's own Michael Lyster, the Sunday Game legend who represented the entire county in 2017 when the RTE cameras caught his celebration for Joe's famous semi-final point against Tipperary.

Every Monday for the Championship summer, Tipperary's Shane McGrath and Kerry's Darran O'Sullivan will be our guides through the hurling and football championships. We'll also have special guests, tactical breakdowns, and much, much more. This week, Darran talks about a Cork team that might need to tear is all up after the second worst Munster final defeat of all time, and the worst in 102 years! Did Kerry get anything out of it? Why do Galway continue to flatter to deceive? And how Mayo have quietly reinvented themselves. Shane then joins us to discuss Cork and Waterford advancing in the hurling qualifiers. What has happened to Galway? Will Clare be back? We also look at the greatest jersey sponsors of all time (1.12.55) and PJ and Gary battle it out to guess the handicaps (1.14.52) for next weekend's games.

Every Monday for the Championship summer, Tipperary's Shane McGrath and Kerry's Darran O'Sullivan will be our guides through the hurling and football championships. We'll also have special guests, tactical breakdowns, and much, much more. This week, Shane (0.58) looks back on an enthralling Munster Hurling Final, with Limerick securing three in a row thanks a second half blitz the likes of which we've rarely seen. Can anybody get in their way at that form? Maybe Kilkenny? Given the horrendous personnel issues in the Dublin camp, it's hard to know much about where The Cats are right now. Or maybe a challenger will emerge from the qualifiers. Shane is very impressed with Clare after their big win in the stifling heat of Thurles on Saturday afternoon. Maurice Brosnan then brings us Inside The Game (40.06) with reaction to Dublin footballers' looking vulnerable against Meath, and a stunning weekend of Ulster football. Hee also takes us through his Embedded article from last week Tyrone's more positive approach paying dividends. We also look at the greatest GAA moustaches of all time (1.12.55) and PJ and Gary battle it out to guess the handicaps (1.14.52) for next weekend's games.

We'll also have special guests, tactical breakdowns, and much, much more. This week, Darran looks back on the game of the Championship so far as Donegal just outlasted local rivals Derry after an almighty scare. We talk about the weekend's "soft" red cards and how they are maybe not soft at all. As Kerry and Mayo march on, we also discuss the drab situation of seeing Leitrim beaten so comprehensively on live television. Maurice Brosnan then brings us Inside The Game with reaction to the Hurling Qualifiers draw, Laois' hurling bounceback, why structures alone won't solve GAA inequality, and he also takes us through his Embedded article from last week on a Dublin cliché we shouldn't so easily dismiss. We also look at the greatest hurling helmets of all time and PJ and Gary battle it out to guess the handicaps for next weekend's games.
