Weekend sport preview: What is on and where to watch?
Kenneth Fox
There is a stacked weekend of sport ahead with a mix of big games both home and abroad.
The All-Ireland hurling final is the big showcase event this weekend as Cork and Tipperary face off at Croke Park on Sunday. It was the Rebels who came out on top when they meet in the Munster championship.
On Saturday morning, The British & Lions will take on Australia in the first test of the series. There are eight Irish players in the starting lineup including the likes of Tadgh Furlong, Joe McCarthy, Tadgh Beirne and Jack Conan.
There is also The Open in Portrush, Tour de France and Women's Euro quarter-finals to round out a packed weekend.
