The reaction is overwhelmingly positive.
The fastest field game in the world appears to have gained more converts.
Play Hurling, an organisation aiming to teach North Americans how to play the game, has produced a video recording the reactions of Canadians watching Ireland’s national sport for the first time.
Last summer, a number of Canadian Twitter users were spellbound by hurling when it was broadcast on TV in the country, and their compatriots in this video were also impressed by the game.
One viewer even considered hurling to contain all the best bits of Canadian sports lacrosse and hockey, and the “finesse of soccer.”
Hurling’s world domination continues.
