This will be well worth a watch.

AIB’s documentary, The Toughest Trade, is set to air on RTÉ2 tonight at 9.30pm.

The documentary series explores how professional sports compare to the GAA and discovers whether our GAA stars can hack it in the world of professional sports.

The first episode of the series sees Donegal footballer, Michael Murphy, swap sports with former Welsh rugby winger, Shane Williams.

Murphy traveled to France to take up rugby with professional side, Clermont Auvergne and Williams joined Murphy’s club Glenswilly.

Both athletes spent a week in their new surroundings with both being set a final challenge by AIB at the end of their respective tenures.

For fans eager to learn more about the experiences of both players, AIB will be broadcasting an expert panel discussion through Facebook Live, hosted by Joanne Cantwell.

Special guests include Michael Murphy and previous participants, Brendan Maher and Aaron Kernan.
