RTÉ GAA Podcast: Tubridy and Jacob preview the weekend

David Tubridy and Ursula Jacob join Mikey Stafford and Rory O'Neill to preview the weekend's Allianz League action.

All the intrigue is at the foot of Division 2 (what's new) and David would dearly love to be going out to battle Derry with his old Clare team-mates. Derry need a point to ensure promotion, so the Banner men are where they like to be, with their backs against the wall.

In the basement battle a very out-of-form Kildare travel to Limerick this weekend, to take on the Munster side who jettisoned manager Ray Dempsey last week.

Division 1 is still very hard to make head nor tail of, but Donegal need to take two points at home against a Mayo side who must surely be thinking of taking their foot off the pedal at this point.

Tyrone's trip to Clones has the taste of a four-pointer, while Rory bemoans the fact Armagh's rendezvous with Galway takes place at the same time Saturday as the Grand Slam decider in Aviva Stadium.

HURLING FROM 29 MINUTES

Ursula takes a look at how the Division 1 tables are shaping up and suggests it is the new managers who have taken the most from the league.

Pat Ryan's Cork and Liam Cahill's Tipperary have their semi-final tickets punched, while Derek Lyng's Kilkenny need a point from their clash with Waterford to join them.

It's likely Limerick will make up the final four, provided they avoid defeat at home to an injury-hit Wexford. John Kiely's squad depth is pretty intimidating and he may be inclined to shuffle his deck this week to keep fringe players happy.

Finally, Ursula gives us her take on the shorts v skorts battle brewing ahead of Camogie Congress.
