Less than an hour before Ireland's Euro 2016 campaign launched with their opening game against Sweden, RTÉ primed to nation with a Conor McGregor narrated promo.
The words were akin to McGregor trash talk, except they had been given a more politically correct slant than you would normally hear from the UFC fighter.
It was a two minutes which - bar the odd naysayer - viewers adored.
If that RTE video package with McGregor didn't instill national pride in you - you might want to check your pulse. #IREvSWE
