Saoirse Noonan and Matthew Ruane among 36 lined up for AFL testing in Dublin

In all, 20 men will be testing for AFL teams and 16 women for the AFLW.

Mayo star Matthew Ruane is expected to be among the 36 men and women that will undergo rigorous testing at the AFL Europe Draft Combine in Dublin next December.

The AFL will be hosting its first combine for its AFLW franchises on Irish soil, taking place directly after the now long established men’s testing.
