RTÉ reveal pundit teams for All-Ireland hurling semi-finals as drama heads to Croke Park

Hurling fans are in for a bumper weekend as the All-Ireland senior hurling championship reaches its semi-final stage, and RTÉ has confirmed a heavyweight line-up of pundits ready to break down all the action live from Croke Park.

Over two days, thousands of fans from across Ireland and beyond will flock to GAA HQ while countless more are set to tune in as Cork face Dublin on Saturday and a classic showdown between Kilkenny and Tipperary on Sunday. Both games are live on RTÉ and BBC.

This weekend's semi-finals carry significant storylines. Cork, under manager Pat Ryan, will be hoping to keep momentum rolling after a strong quarter-final win, while Dublin are bidding to cause another upset and reach an All-Ireland final for the first time since 1961.

Sunday's semi-final promises a clash laced with tradition and rivalry as Kilkenny and Tipperary square off once more.

The Cats are eyeing a return to the All-Ireland final under Derek Lyng, while Tipperary are looking to spoil their party and book their own place in the decider.

While the battles on the pitch will command attention, fans can also look forward to RTÉ's analysis with some of the biggest names in the game set to dissect every puck of the ball.

On Saturday, the RTÉ team will feature Anthony Daly, Donal Óg Cusack and Kilkenny great Henry Shefflin for coverage of Cork v Dublin at 5pm.

On Sunday, viewers can expect insights from former Tipperary manager Liam Sheedy, Kilkenny's Jackie Tyrrell, and camogie star Ursula Jacob as Kilkenny and Tipperary go head-to-head at 4pm.

Both semi-finals are part of a packed GAA broadcast schedule this weekend, which also includes the All-Ireland minor football final between Tyrone and Kerry, plus crucial camogie and ladies' football ties airing across RTÉ, TG4 and BBC.
