Earley announces Ireland's International Rules squad

A total of 15 counties are represented in the 29-man squad today announced by Ireland team manager Paul Earley for the upcoming International Rules series against Australia.

The likes of Wexford's Daithi Waters, Westmeath's John Heslin and Ciaran Byrne from Louth have made the cut alongside more established names like Michael Murphy, who will captain Ireland in the two Tests on October 19 and 26, and Ciaran McKeever who was the vice-captain when Ireland lifted the Cormac McAnallen Cup in Australia two years ago.
