Farney’s Darren Hughes answers Ireland’s call Down Under

As Ireland prepare to introduce as many as three new faces to their squad for Saturday’s second test in Perth, Joe Kernan says Ireland must score at least three goals to stand a chance of winning the series.

Kernan yesterday confirmed International Rules veteran Darren Hughes is flying to Australia to replace the injured Pearce Hanley while Derry’s Hawthorn player Conor Glass could also be called up if virus victims Niall Murphy or Enda Smith not be fit to play.

Should both be unable, another player may also be introduced.
