    Cody's Kilkenny or Kiely's Limerick? Beyond The 65 S2 Ep 4
    Apr 1 2026

    Beyond the 65 returns for its most heated debate yet! Luke Delaney is joined once again by Wexford’s Conor McDonald and Tipperary legend John "Bubbles" O'Dwyer to tackle the ultimate challenge: selecting the Greatest Hurling Team of the 21st Century.

    From the ruthless dominance of Brian Cody’s Kilkenny to the modern-day brilliance of John Kiely’s Limerick, the lads leave no stone unturned. Watch as they weigh up legendary eras, debate tactical shifts, and eventually attempt to build a Combined XV from the two greatest dynasties the game has ever seen.

    Warning: Some absolute icons of the game missed the cut. Do you agree with their selections, or have the lads lost the run of themselves?

    All-Ireland Hurling Predictions Pt. 2
    Mar 19 2026

    The lads are back for Part 2 of our 2026 All-Ireland Hurling Predictions! After a massive opening segment, we’re putting our necks on the line to pick our 2026 Provincial Champions for Munster and Leinster.

    With the Munster round-robin looking more competitive than ever and Kilkenny defending their Bob O’Keeffe crown in Leinster, we analyze the tactical shifts and key form that will decide the silverware. Plus, we reveal our "Surprise Package" for 2026—the team we believe will blow the championship wide open and upset the established order.

    We also dive deep into the "Big Question" facing the rising counties: Can Kildare and Laois truly bridge the gap?

    Beyond The 65 - Season 2 Episode 2
    Mar 4 2026

    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.
