Darren Hughes to replace Pearce Hanley for Saturday test

Monaghan’s Darren Hughes is flying out to Perth to replace the injured Pearce Hanley for Saturday’s deciding test in the Subiaco Oval, writes John Fogarty.

Hughes, an International Rules regular who has been on the last two previous trips to Australia, may not be the only addition as manager Joe Kernan continues to assess the health of Niall Murphy and Enda Smith who were ruled out of Saturday’s first test in Adelaide with a virus. Derry’s Hawthorn player Conor Glass could yet come into the group.
