When I was in Ireland, I saw so many guys with huge, gnarly scars (especially on the back of their heads). Without fail, every time I asked, they got it hurling.
Hurling is about as Irish as it gets. But it also seems very Canadian. Respect and fair play when it's time for it, throw down the gloves when it's time for that.
i mean if you want to know, cgi ball that goes flying into the hole while the real ball he was holding at the start was dropped off screen and erased in post

What, VFX? Is there some history between Ireland and VFX?

This is a very popular sport in Ireland you’ve never heard of

I bet the ball was on a piece of string getting pulled through the hole, and there was a mirror that he was looking at.

Saw a hurling match in Dublin in 2013. One of the coolest sporting events I’ve ever seen.

Irish? Where's the bagpipe? Where's the kilts? Where's the Glenfiddich?/s

You can tell it's Ireland because there's no blue sky. Only clouds. That shed it probably filled with turf.

Or clouds.

Hurling is a sport that I wish was more widespread

I'm an alcoholic I hurl a couple of times every day.

I get quite good at hurling, usually after a long bender of an evening 🤮

For those who haven't seen it, it's best described as a cross between hockey and murder.
