International Rules team to be named today

The new manager of the Irish International Rules team will be named today with a string of highly regarded managers all in contention.

Kerry legend Mick O'Dwyer, Galway boss John O'Mahony and Armagh's Joe Kernan have all been linked with the task of succeeding John O'Keeffe in the position.

Ireland have not won a series in the hybrid game since 2001 under Brian McEniff, having suffered consecutive defeats in Ireland and last October down under.
