    The Provincial Finals are finally here, and the Beyond The 65 studio is heating up!

    Host Luke Delaney is joined once again by Tipperary legend John "Bubbles" O’Dwyer and Wexford sharpshooter Conor McDonald to look ahead to a massive weekend of silverware battles in Munster and Leinster.

    Before the ball is even thrown in, the lads have a massive task: choosing their Team of the Championship so far. Bubbles takes the reins for a stacked Munster selection, while Conor builds his ultimate Leinster 15. Then, things get chaotic as they lock horns head-to-head to merge them into one definitive, undisputed Combined Provincial XV. Who gets cut, and who is completely un-droppable?

    Plus, it's time for some humble pie,the boys to look back at their pre-championship predictions from earlier this year—and let’s just say they haven't aged well.

  • 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?
