Last night's All-Ireland hurling qualifier between Wexford and Waterford had the British TV audience both gripped and confused.

The thrilling clash at Nowlan Park was the second part of Sky Sports' first ever live GAA double-header, which also featured the All-Ireland football qualifier between Armagh and Roscommon at Dr Hyde Park. But, not surprisingly, the hurling once again grabbed the attention of viewers across the Irish Sea.

Here are some of the funnier tweets that were posted:

Hurling is such a strange sport. What would posses you to take that up? Hahs

Hurling is just absolute carnage but it makes for great viewing. Anyone with Sky Sports put it on now, you won't be disappointed
