Fiji and Montpellier's 20-stone winger Nemani Nadolo has declared his love for hurling.
Judging by some of his tweets, we can assume that Nadolo was introduced to the sport by his Montpellier team-mate and former Cork All-Ireland minor winning captain Tomás O'Leary. In one of them, he jokes about joining O'Leary's GAA club Erin's Own and becoming the third Fijian after Seán Óg and Setanta O hAilpin to line out for Cork.
Another Cork man, Munster and Irish rugby star Simon Zebo, also joined in the Twitter banter.
