Australia Vs Ireland International Rules
Who's interested in this game? Just after your thoughts. I like the game and the idea of this series but think the selection panel are doing the wrong thing. Sure qwe want to win, but at what expense, the crowd, sponsors, general interest in the game??? My thoughts are i love watching it, love the concept but its lacking the big name players. I know it was proven that playing the named all aust team probably wasnt the best option to win, but who cares. I loved watching crawford, carey, harvey, hirdy and mcleod all playing together, it was the whole point i thought, it was a different way to watch our favourite stars combine to defeat the Irish. They have clearly tried to clean the game up by playing the faster, younger more honest guys, probably play the game better but its just not the same.
Thoughts???
