The World Cup may be on but just like last week the British are switching on Sky Sports 3 for some Championship action. This evening's game was Wexford vs Dublin.
Here's the best of their reaction to it so far.
I've no idea what's going on or how the teams score, but loving watching this hurling match! ????

I now understand how you score in hurling ????. But why different colour helmets? Is it like footballers boots or something different?

It's like a mixture of cricket, rugby and a egg and spoon race #hurling #skysports

Hurling is the shit. So fast paced and damn physical. They don't fuck about in Ireland

#GAA I'm watching Hurling. Wexford have scored 4 over the bar and 1 in the net and the score is 7. Can anyone explain?

I've noticed these hurling players don't roll around crying like babys when injured ! Great first half.

First time watching Hurling on Sky sports 3. From what I can gather it is a sport that involves lots of guys having a pub fight on grass

Hurling is some interesting Irish sport

Watching Hurling. Entirely new experience, never knew so many sports can be combined to make such a weird sport #hockey #LaX #rugby #cricket

Hurling is absolute carnage. About five sports in one

Watching this Irish Hurling on sky sports confirms my belief that the Irish are mental.
