Shane McGrath and Shane Dowling on semi-finals | What tweaks can improve hurling?

The Shanes, McGrath and Dowling, join Cathal Mullaney to preview the All-Ireland hurling semi-finals this weekend. How do they see Limerick getting on against neighbours Clare, and does Galway's gameplan stand up to the test of Cork? While the lads also share a few ideas on how to improve the sport. 0:30 - Minor hurling final review as Limerick overcame Tipperary at the death. 08:10 - Limerick-Clare preview semi-final preview. Dowling reckons Clare were so poor in the round robin game against Limerick. After 13 years on the road are the Banner beginning to tire. Despite convincing scoreline, Dublin had lots of goal chances in quarter-final.. 12:30 - McGrath believes Limerick are as good as they've been in last few years. Competition to even make panel is pushing performances to another level this year. 18:00 - McGrath describes Shane O’Donnell as unmarkable at times. Central to gameplan, but Clare need time and space out the field to deliver quality ball. Dowling says Limerick don’t worry about match-ups - defenders will play where selected and mark whoever they have to. 22:50 - Galway-Cork semi-final preview. That Leinster final performance is irrelevant. How good are Galway - was Leinster that bad or are they the real deal? 25:20 - Galway to stick with their blanket defence, trust their system. Cork to bring intensity and long distance shooters that Galway have not seen this year. 29:16 - Dowling describes Galway as not nice to watch. But fair play if Micheal Donoghue if he gets them to a final playing this way. 33:50 - Dowling insists something needs to be done with game of hurling. Keep three players inside the 45 and puck-outs go outside the 45. Try and solve the handpass problems. Increase goals to four points. McGrath talks about refereeing changes… more money to make the job more attaractive? 40:50 - Dowling would love to see players trying to buy frees this weekend have frees given against them.
