THE HURLING POD: 'Cork win if both teams are at their best!' | Dublin and Galway's Leinster showdown

Don't worry, the listeners will be all over this in the comments.

They will definitely remember it better than we do.

So definitely lads have it fresher than I have.

I'd say so.

But yeah, look, as you said, Skel, the one thing for Galway is that

Two or three of those lads are already playing senior hurling.

Two of them in Rabbit and Nyland are already kind of key players for the senior team for the rest of the summer.

Touch wood for them, they kind of stay injury-free over the next while because a lot of load on them over the last few weeks.

I know that Nyland was carrying that bit of an injury in the last few weeks too.

But at this stage already, they will always say to you, if you can get two or three lads off a team, you're doing well with an underage team.

And it looks like that's going to be very much the case with this group of Galway 20s.

But just one last question on young players in Galway.

The Hurling Pod
THE HURLING POD: 'Cork win if both teams are at their best!' | Dublin and Galway's Leinster showdown

Are you surprised that some of them have become so central to the senior team already, given the age profile of some of these lads?

Or was it a case of you always had a feeling that they were going to come through and it was just a case of Michal giving them a chance and then out they went and on they've flown now?

I'm pretty sure from Instagram, I think it was humansofgaelicgames, as that account is now called at this stage, which had picked up Conor Whelan's comments about Paul Murphy not that long ago.
