Ireland manager Brian McEniff today named his team to face Australia in tomorrow's first International Rules test in Melbourne.
McEniff produced few suprises in naming his side. The big names are all there with Seamus Moynihan at centre half-back and Anthony Tohill and Darragh Ó Sé in midfield.
Tadhg Kennelly, who plies his trade with Aussie Rules side Sydney Swans, has been named at centre half-forward. Niall Buckley has been named on the bench despite coming off in Tuesday's warm-up match with a hamstring injury.
