| | Quote: | GOLD Coast recruit Gary Ablett was a surprise omission as Australia named a relatively inexperienced International Rules outfit for the upcoming two-Test series against Ireland.
Sixteen players will make their international debut on Irish soil later this month.
Only six players in the 22-man squad - Matthew Boyd, Dustin Fletcher, Adam Goodes, Brad Green, Leigh Montagna and Kade Simpson - have played the hybrid sport before.
Recent premiership players Tyson Goldsack - who played in the Pies' win after missing the drawn grand final - and Dane Swan will make up the Collingwood contingent.
St Kilda's Sam Gilbert and Montagna will also make the trip.
The squad has pace with Travis Varcoe, David Wojcinski, Todd Banfield named while there is plenty of goalkicking firepower with Eddie Betts, Patrick Dangerfield, Jarrad McVeigh and Jack Riewoldt to travel.
Swan Kieren Jack has been named, alongside fellow youngsters James Frawley - fresh from his All Australian recognition - Bryce Gibbs and Garrick Ibbotson.
Hard-working midfielders Daniel Cross and Paul Duffield make up the squad, which is notably minus new Gold Coast Sun Ablett, who was touted to be playing.

| It got canceled for a while i think because it was too aggressive in 2007 or whatever. Probs from Chris Johnson trying to kill them all. |

| Now it's going to be soft i reckon. It was awesome to watch when Johnson was clotheslining(not a word i don't think) the Irish. |

| Great video and i love that song. Ahhhh those were the days. The irish had nothing on the Aussies, fighting wise. It's a shame it's going to be soft this year though. It was at it's best when players were flying at each other. Chris Johnson, please come out of retirement for the series Tredders was just laughing at the weak Irish bastard. He was barely doing anything and the Irish dude was going backwards. |
