Some of you may have seen a picture of Kilkenny's Jackie Tyrell getting up close and personal with a green M&M on the Off The Ball Twitter account.

That needed some explanation so the six-time All Ireland winner divulged all to Ger and Gizzy.

"I had Ms Green over in Nowlan Park and she's over here in Ireland trying to look for her roots so we were given our dig out down in Kilkenny. I gave her a tour of Nowlan Park to see if she could find her roots and you can help if you can give her a selfie and post it up on M&Ms Facebook page," said Tyrell who has been a key part of one of the greatest inter-county defences.

On to the serious note of hurling, the 31-year-old has no intention of retiring as he still has a buzz for playing at the top level.

"[Hurling] is like a drug. It's so infectious that you want more and more. The key thing with that is that you don't stay too long. You have to get the balance right and that's where you have to be honest with yourself and look at your start of year goals and are they realistic," said Tyrell who also touched on the impact of new faces in the Kilkenny panel.
