The Late Hit That Caused Shameful Scenes In An '89 Hurling Semi

Michael McGrath of Galway was sent off in the 1989 All-Ireland Hurling Semi-Final at Croke Park for this late, late hit on Tipperary's Conor O'Donovan, which looks more like the kind of late hit you would see on a full-back in rugby.

Ger Canning didn't seem to think too much of it but once the referee started making a fuss the challenge suddenly became a dangerous one in his mind.
