Aussie clubs hovering over Irish International Rules starlet

AT LEAST one of the Irish players heading down under for the International Rules series will be playing Australian Rules professionally within months, according to the Australian media.

Reports yesterday in Australia stated that the player — part of agent Ricky Nixon’s Irish recruitment programme — is being looked at by Richmond, the Western Bulldogs and St Kilda.

Nixon said yesterday that most of the players he’d been looking at were minors.
