So we do get a little excited when we see superstars from other sports wax lyrical about one of the fastest field sports on earth.
The latest example of this comes from rugby union's Fijian winger, Nemani Nadolo, the 29-year-old is currently plying his trade with Montpellier in the Top 14 alongside Cork's very own Tomás O'Leary.
It seems to be the case that O'Leary introduced him to the sport over the weekend, most likely Cork's Allianz Hurling League defeat to Dublin at Pairc Uí Rinn.

Nadolo, of course, is aware of two Cork hurlers with Fijian ancestry, the Ó'hAilpín brothers, Sean Óg, Setanta (and Aisake).
It seems that he wants to follow in their footsteps and become Cork's next hurling superstar.
He even has a club in mind, Erin's Own GAA.

Unfortunately for O'Leary, he couldn't escape some ribbing from both Simon Zebo and Nadolo himself.
Now, just think for a moment what this man could do with a hurl in his hands.
