GAA tied up in knots in dead duck Rules series

Don’t believe what you’re being sold about the International Rules series.

Don’t think for a second that the team Ireland are facing in Cavan on Saturday and Croke Park seven days later are Australia.

That might be the way it’s being projected by GAA chiefs but they realised back in May that the AFL weren’t living up to their side of the bargain when their chief executive Andrew Demetriou told Páraic Duffy they were considering sending an all-indigenous team to Ireland.
