RTÉ GAA Podcast: Star back in Tralee & hurling's provincial turf war

Peter Canavan, Jackie Tyrrell and Conor Neville of RTÉ.ie join Mikey Stafford and Rory O'Neill to look ahead to the weekend's Allianz Football and Hurling League action.

With Armagh heading down to Kerry, we ask Peter about the coaching potential of prodigal son Kieran McGeeney and assess whether Armagh are reaching their potential. A wounded Kerry should be a good gauge this weekend.

Tyrone, for two weeks running, are heading west to Connacht for difficult assignments, this time against an in-form Mayo side. Peter discusses the issues facing his native county, who are struggling to arrest their post 2021 All-Ireland slump.

Donegal's leadership deficit and Longford's Division 3 fate are also tackled.

HURLING FROM 32 MINS

RTÉ.ie columnist and RTÉ Radio 1 commentator Shane McGrath ruffled a few feathers by stating four of the top five hurling teams at present are to be found in Munster. At least he went for one less than Rory did on last week's pod.

While accepting Leinster is not as cutthroat, Jackie makes the case for Galway and Kilkenny's place at the top of the tree - even if the stats of late make for depressing reading for those from the east.

Henry Shefflin's Tribesmen have a chance to strike a blow for the province they adopted against Limerick this weekend, but the three-in-a-row champs look a different proposition this spring.

Elsewhere, there is a consensus that Wexford will beat Clare on Sunday before losing an All-Ireland quarter-final in the summer.
