We asked artificial intelligence to pick the all-time best Kilkenny XV - do you agree?

Kilkenny legend Tommy Walsh is in the mix - full team below!

Out of sheer curiosity, we recently asked one of the world's leading artificial intelligence chatbot to generate an all-time Kilkenny senior hurling starting XV.

Listed below is the team that the software selected:

1) Eoin Murphy (Goalkeeper)
2) Michael Kavanagh (Right Corner-Back)
3) Noel Hickey (Full-Back)
4) Brian Hogan (Left Corner-Back)
5) Tommy Walsh (Right Half-Back)
6) Jackie Tyrrell (Centre-Back)
7) JJ Delaney (Left Half-Back)
8) Mick Brennan (Midfield)
9) Frank Cummins (Midfield)
10) DJ Carey (Right Half-Forward)
11) Henry Shefflin (Centre-Forward)
12) Eddie Keher (Left Half-Forward)
13) Richie Power (Right Corner-Forward)
14) Eoin Larkin (Full-Forward)
15) Eddie Brennan (Left Corner-Forward)

There were some incredibly big calls made here, with a lot of big names left out!

What do you think of the team and what would you change?
