Nixon bringing Aussie Rules into Irish schools

PRIMARY schools are the next target in Ireland for controversial Aussie Rule agent Ricky Nixon as he tries to groom Aussie Rules stars of the future.

Nixon claims to have the agreement of four schools in which coaching clinics will be held from the beginning of September and admits the development will “put the fear of God into GAA people”.

He insists that he is not in Ireland “to pillage the country” though, claiming that only one out of every 100 players looked at might be invited to try out AFL.
