Joe Molloy was joined by 2010 All-Ireland winner Clíodhna O'Connor and journalist Conor McKeon on this weekend's edition of the Sunday Paper Review. The curious case of professional golf's 'black hat' Patrick Reed sparked the first talking-point on today's papers after the 2018 Masters winner conducted his first major interview since joining the Saudi-backed LIV tour. As the United Rugby Championship announced a sponsorship deal with state-owned Qatar Airways, the guys examined what has been a fairly negative reaction to the news among a selection of today's rugby writers. Has sport and its superstars become too homogenized? We explored the recent proliferation of behind-the-scenes sports documentaries and the service they provide.

John Duggan was joined by the former Dublin footballer Mick O'Keeffe and journalist Brendan O'Brien on this weekend's edition of the Sunday Paper Review. Does the GAA have a 'cultural issue' with the abuse of referees?

Following an article written in the Sunday Independent by Paul Kimmage about the coverage of certain sports with relation to doping, the lads considered how often and how deeply the issue and theme of doping should arise. Furthermore, the lads lamented the lack of coverage given over to the Republic of Ireland Women's National Team after their midweek defeat of Finland, enjoyed what Wayne Rooney had to say of his Manchester United vs Arsenal memories, and a whole lot more.
