The lads are back! Season 2, Episode 2 of Beyond The 65 starts with a bang as we dive into part one of our 2026 Hurling Preview.
In this episode, John “Bubbles” O’Dwyer and Conor McDonald give their unfiltered takes on the state of the game. We’re asking the tough questions: Can Tipperary finally find the consistency to reclaim the Liam MacCarthy? After years of All-Ireland heartbreak, is Ben O’Connor the missing piece of the puzzle for the Rebels, or does the Cork model need a deeper fix?
We also go deep on the “modern game”—discussing the current state of play and whether the proposed 2026 rule changes (like the dissent penalties and structure tweaks) will actually freshen up the spectacle or just complicate it.
