Australian squad arrives today

The Australia squad is due to arrive in Ireland this morning ahead of this year's International Rules series.

Garry Lyon and his 26-man panel fly into Dublin Airport around 9am.

The Aussies will warm up for Sunday's first test with a match against a Dublin selection in Parnell Park on Thursday.

Irish boss Pete McGrath named his panel yesterday.

The squad includes two Aussie Rules players - Setanta Ó hAilpín and Tadhg Kennelly.
