Pretty good, eh?
Anyone in Ireland who wanted to see the All-Ireland hurling final between Galway and Kilkenny has seen it at this stage, they either watched it live or watched it back on Sky + or the RTE Player.
However, the game’s first Canadian broadcast took place last night on the channel Sportsnet1 and as always it provoked a fantastic reaction from first time viewers of our national sport.
Here are some of the best tweets from people watching the game.
I am watching Irish Hurling on some whacky sports channel. I love this sport. Have not figured it out but I love it.

This Irish national Hurling Championship is nuts. I've watched for half hour and I don't have a clue who is doing what and why? #Imisshockey

#Bluejays blowout has just introduced me to hurling. This sport is amazing. It's a combo of soccer/Rugby/Football/Baseball bless the #Irish

Not sure who exactly invented Hurling, but I guarantee copious amount of alcohol was involved.

How have I never seen Hurling on TV before? This sport is like a gang fight on a soccer pitch. Absolute madness, I love it.

I'm watching Hurling on the TV right now. Really, I have no clue, but I'm loving the insanity. Maybe it's the Irish blood in me. #noidea

For anyone that's not watching the Jays game anymore. On Sportsnet One, they have Hurling on. A Irish sport. Hybrid between Rugby & Baseball
