GAA ease doubts on International Rules

GAA Director General, Liam Mulvihill has moved to quell fears that next year's International Rules series in Australia is on the rocks.

The series is likely to clash with the Aussies' part hosting of the Rugby World Cup and it had been suggested that the games be played in Ireland for the second year on the spin.

That caused a massive outcry from those who are keen to stick to the traditional format of biannual hosting.

But Mulvihill said: "Nothing is cast in stone and it was just a suggestion that was made. I don't think too much planning has taken place at this stage."
