The RTÉ promos department does it again for Kerry v Mayo.
You don't need to be in love with the GAA to appreciate this absolute gem of a promo for Sunday's All-Ireland semi-final at Croke Park between Kerry and Mayo.
This really has everything, and plays on the great rivalry between two teams who make their homes on the Wild Atlantic Way.
