At the weekend, Ian Madigan remembered to credit his pinpoint crossfield kick to Luke Fitzgerald for the winning try to his footballing alma matter, the mighty Kilmacud Crokes.
An U-14 Feile winner, Madigan's Gaelic footballing prowess is no secret, although it is slightly less well known than Robbie Henshaw's.
He spoke to Joe Molloy on Off the Ball about the worth of his Gaelic footballing background in his rugby career and how the positive influence of the sport can be seen in both Tommy Bowe and Rob Kearney.
At this stage, the wonder is why we're bothering with underage rugby competitions at all.
Mainly football, I played. I loved the freedom of it. Kilmacud's a great club... And I look back on it with great fondness.... I think you can see with Rob and Tommy, how good their catching is. It's a simple thing but it's so important and it's getting bigger and bigger in rugby.
Rugby was nowhere close to Madigan's best sport in his early teens.
Probably Gaelic football. It definitely wasn't rugby anyway (laugh) When I moved to Blackrock, the rugby probably took over and I engulfed myself in it but Gaelic was probably the sport I was best at growing up.
It wasn't the only GAA reference dropped in. Madigan was at Sunday's hurling humdinger, and it was that got Joe Molloy on to the topic of his Gaelic footballing past.
I was laughing with my brother that Seamus Callanan will probably be looking for a transfer after that. Scoring 3-8 and not winning.
Interestingly, Madigan discussed his new venture, 'Fantasy Venture', a website he's launching with a couple of friends of his in advance of the World Cup. The site goes live on Thursday.
