Twenty years have come and gone since Mickey Ned O'Sullivan spent time in South Africa showing some of their players, a 22-year old Bryan Habana among them, how Gaelic footballers went about mastering the art of high fielding.

Both sports have shed various skins and grown others across that two decades but the aerial games in both are now back in fashion after recent, respective rules/laws changes that have reintroduced the art and the chaos that was once taken for granted.
