    Choosing The Best Hurling XV Of The Past 50 Years With Anthony Daly, Anthony Nash and Liam Sheedy | PwC 15 For 50

    This is 15 for 50: The Hurling Edition.

    We tasked three of the greatest minds in hurling - Anthony Daly, Anthony Nash and Liam Sheedy - to come up with a XV of the greatest hurlers the game has seen from the past 50 years to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the All-Stars!

    Who will get into a stacked full forward line? Who misses out by the skin of their teeth? How many lads will be moved out of position to facilitate another?

    It is a fascinating listen and, yes, the lads do come to an agreement in the end!
