We have another batch of new podcasts – and plenty more besides – coming your way.

We know who to call if you’re in the market for detailed analysis of the All-Ireland football semi-finals.

With the pairing now set for this year’s All-Ireland senior football final, Marc Ó Sé will lead the charge on The42 GAA Weekly with analysis of how the semi-finals were won.

As we gear up for next Sunday’s hurling decider between Waterford and his beloved Limerick, expect Shane Dowling to ensure that the small ball gets some airtime too on the latest episode, which will be available to listen to first thing in the morning.

A fresh instalment of Rugby Weekly Extra will also be with you tomorrow, as Eoin Toolan joins Murray Kinsella to pick over the bones of Ireland’s Autumn Nations Cup campaign, which concluded against Scotland on Saturday.

If you have anything rugby-related to get off your chest, we’d encourage you to do so in our members-only rugby WhatsApp group.
