Jacqui Hurley and Rory O'Neill are joined by former Antrim hurler Neil McManus on the latest episode of the RTÉ GAA Podcast.
In Division 1A, there are three mouth-watering clashes as Limerick host Galway, Tipperary travel to Kilkenny and we have a rematch of the 2024 All-Ireland final as Clare welcome Cork to Ennis.
It seems like a weekend when a shape will finally be put on the division, with Neil reckoning John Kiely's Limerick will be particularly motivated to get a win on the board.
In Division 1B a gap is developing between the promotion chasers and Antrim, Westmeath and Laois, but Neil believes his home county may be using the league to experiment.
