Cavanagh, Murphy and Sheehan were totally comfortable playing that game. They each displayed different skills than you'd see in a GAA match
IRELAND 116-37 AUSTRALIA (Agg 173-72) Q1: Ireland 27-8 Australia (27-8) HT: Ireland 53-16 Australia (26-8) Q3: Ireland 78-25 Australia ( 25-9) FT: Ireland 116-37 Australia (38-12)
A way has to be worked out to get the Aussie clubs to buy into the series, no competitiveness in this round whatsoever
I like the series. Been at some great compromise rules matches in Croke over the years. Anything that keeps Gaelic athletic sports on the international stage is a worthwhile venture by me
I'm caught between the two points of view. It is great that these lads have an international outlet but the professionals aren't taking this seriously at all and to be fair, they can't really afford to. We looked at it as why would a farmer risk his livelihood against a muscle bound pro athlete. They look at it as why would they risk a pro career against a farmer. Neither series is working.
