Browne doubtful ahead of opener

Declan Browne has emerged as doubtful to be fit for Friday's International Rules test opener in Perth after picking up a dead leg injury in a warm-up game today.

The Tipperary ace was crocked during Ireland's 54-10 win over Western Australia ahead of the sell-out opener at the Subiaco Bowl in Perth.

Boss John O'Keeffe has already been hit by a number of high profile withdrawals through injury and otherwise.
