Pic: English comedian pays tribute to Ireland’s hurlers after seeing it on TV

"Hurling is best described as rugby with a weapon"

“Hurling is best described as rugby with a weapon.”

The reaction of English people seeing hurling for the first time was all the rage last summer thanks to the coverage on Sky Sports. 

They were amazed by the game, and rightly so, it is the fastest field sport in the world.

English people are still discovering the game and well-known comedian Chris Addison got his first taste of the action last night.

The Mock the Week panelist was pretty impressed to say the least.
