The man in the dog mask was revealed to be ex-Tipperary senior hurling manager Liam Sheedy at the end of the show when he gave his thoughts on the big game: "There's a lot of pressure on Cork, they've lost the last three and there's celtic crosses in the Tipperary dressing room and they know how to win."

He also gave several shoutouts to the McGrath family, with hurling brothers Brian, Noel and John McGrath all taking to the field on Sunday.
