Speedy Powter riled by Aussie digs

Having only turned 20 in July, he is the youngest player on the Ireland International Rules panel but Seán Powter isn’t afraid to speak up for himself.

When it comes to ribbing his colleagues he is holding his own. Like Melbourne, he is rooming with his Douglas clubmate Eoin Cadogan in Adelaide at the moment. “Yeah, still stuck with him looking in the mirror the whole time tensing!”

Powter also has no qualms in saying that Ireland have been motivated my comments coming out of the Australian camp such as those from Chad Winyard about the home side having an advantage because they’re professional athletes.
