Can you really build a combined Munster and Leinster Hurling Team of the Decade without causing a massive argument?
John “Bubbles” O’Dwyer takes over the producer’s chair in this episode of Beyond the 65’, and he’s brought a brutal challenge for Conor McDonald and host Luke Delaney. The lads are tasked with selecting their definitive Munster and Leinster provincial hurling teams from the last ten years, before facing the ultimate test: merging them into one legendary, combined XV.
With so many icons of the game on the chopping block, some massive household names are left out. Expect heated debates, tactical disagreements, and a few hurt feelings!
Plus, Bubbles and Mc take us behind the dressing room doors to recall their most intense training ground memories. Bubbles opens up about going toe-to-toe with Cathal Barrett under Liam Sheedy’s infamous regime, while Mc drops some brilliant insights into life under Davy Fitzgerald.
