'Please God I'll be going to some of the Munster championship games'

The Kilkenny legend will be on our TV screens this summer.

HENRY SHEFFLIN IS the big new addition to The Sunday Game hurling team for this summer’s championship action.

He’s swapping the pitch for the pundits chair in the wake of his retirement in March.

And while he made his name in a Kilkenny jersey and on the Leinster hurling stage, the chance to go over the border to take in some Munster championship matches is one of the attractions of his new role.

    @Chris Mc: I’m sure you remember this quote from the 2017 Lions tour: Phil Gifford, from Stuff, who was critical of the Lions style of play in general, referred to Sean O’Brien as “a flanker so tough and hard-edged he’s basically a roll of barbed wire in boots.” Great move by Leinster.

    @Tony Mcgrath: bit of an insulting remark from a Munster supporter. Check your own coaches for a similar problem.

    Seamus replacing Leamy. I wonder could we persuade Isa to come back and replace Dr. Phil?
