No official squad has been announced yet. Joe Kernan is waiting for all the club finals to be over, before he knows who can and can't commit to the series. I heard there are over 40 players on the extended panel doing try outs, but it will be another couple of weeks before the official panel is announced.

Pity we won't be seeing this beast again ::eek:

The one off test throws-in at 7:00pm on Saturday the 21st of November at Croke Park. RTE will broadcast the game.

The shinty versus Scotland will be on at 4:30 the same day in Croke Park. Not sure if that's being broadcast too.

Hopefully the game is a success because I love this series.

Berno's gonna be there anyway.

BB a good choice for captain.

ProudDUB · 24-10-2015 11:03pm

Can't ever get enough of seeing Dubs lifting silverware in Croker !

Hoping a good strong panel is named with mainly players who were involved in the business end of the championship.
With all due respect but a team full of lads knocked out in the qualifiers just won't cut it. It'll just be a repeat of last year.

homerjay2005 · 05-11-2015 7:37pm

Any word on a panel yet?

benchgrinder · 06-11-2015 3:01pm

Strong Squad - definitely going now!

Hesh's Umpire · 11-11-2015 5:42pm

A real pity we don't have Tuohy and Hanley.

big_drive · 11-11-2015 7:23pm

One of the stronger squads in a few years

homerjay2005 · 12-11-2015 6:33pm

strong squad, theres a few notable absentees -

Moran, Maher, Crowley, Enright and O Donoghue from Kerry.

Flynn and Cian O Sullivan Dublin.

can understand however why most of the above are missing, mainly due to injuries.

Chocolate girl · 12-11-2015 6:44pm

Going to this for 1st time looking forward to it. Good panel.

macslash · 15-11-2015 2:22am

Why are none of the Australian based players not included? Injuries?

I was in Brisbane during the Summer and saw Hanley play first hand, he was the best player by a mile. Some athlete.

Al_Coholic · 15-11-2015 6:27am

what channel is this on

SSK · 17-11-2015 3:04am

Is that really considered a strong Irish squad? Haven't seen a whole lot of championship over the last couple of years but outside of Brogan, McManus and Connolly there's not a whole lot of proven scoring threat from what I can see.

What sort of players are Brennan, McDonald and Doyle? I barely even recognise the names TBH.

The Australian squad is very strong but they don't have Naitanui this year which is definitely a boost to Ireland's chances. I think they got three or four scores directly from his utter domination of ball ups last year.

its a very strong team with 5 current all-star forwards, while there are a few notable players absent (O Donoghue, Moran, Flynn, Cian O Sullivan and a few more) its a strong as it gets being realistic.

McBrearty, Kerrigan are both very lethal forwards and then you have the likes of Harte, Keegan and Jack Mc that are brilliant at attacking from half back line.

big_drive · 17-11-2015 2:55pm

Its as strong a panel as you'll get in the modern game. Priority for a lot of players this time of the year is the club championship. Or else recovery for next year for those who've had a long year of games
