Totally agree Ballyb. I mean surely county boards could postpone club fixtures for a week or so to let players focus on the ultimate honour of playing for their country. Heres hoping that we get it right next year. Also, for the second week in a row, you guys beat us at our own game. Forget...

Peter P, has Gaelic football really taken off that much in Australia? Also, is it just football, or has hurling increased in popularity as well? There's actually two games on in Croke Park tomorrow as Ireland play Scotland in the annual hurling/shinty international. Shinty and hurling are...

Arch, In terms of the ball being heavier, I totally agree. It's interesting to note that the actual ball used in Gaelic football IS heavier. Also, your suggestion of using a different ball so that both teams have to adjust might be worth a try. Hell, this is an experimental game anyway, so one...

Congratulations on the win guys and great to see the series growing in popularity all the time. It ain't over yet mind...

As I said in the other post Peter P, the Sam is the All-Ireland trophy, we don't call it the premiership. Also, 5 good games out of 5 is equally impressive for our code, given that some of the games on recent years have been appalling. This year's championship was an improvement, but doesn't...

The Sam Maguire is the trophy for winning the All-Ireland. Kerry, won it for a record thirty-second time on Saturday. Even if Seamus Moynihan is bringing it on a tour of the Ring of Kerry for the week, I'd still like to have him in the team for the next day. Moynihan playing with a hangover is...

Totally agree with Ballyb. Seamus Moynihan is the best footballer in the country. Any chance of a return for the second test? Likewise, Michael Donnellan of Galway. By the way, congrats on the win guys, but it ain't over yet! (Also, hows the hangover after the match Ballyb?)

The main effect of the replay in The All-Ireland is that we lose 6 of our players, 6 players from two best teams. Also, Galway have been without Ja Fallon, one of our best players las year, for the whole season due to a knee injury. On the flip side, it will give the chance to a guy, not only...

Sorry about that Peter P! Yea, the throw-in time is a bit off putting for you guys alright. Mind you, for the series last year, I remember being in a pub at 10 in the morning for the games. The place was packed, with a terrific atmosphere. Personally, I'm in America at the minute, so I won't...

Playing two instead of three games is ridiculous, but they're still great games. Having followed both codes closely over the season, I think you guys might have the edge this year. I know you're missing players, but the loss of the Kerry/Galway (the two best teams in the country) guys and last...

Yes it's true that both hurlers and footballers don't get paid a single penny. The way that the GAA still manages to be the biggest sporting organisation in the country is simply because of the love of the game. For the vast majority of our players, simply having the honour of representing their...

Are you Aussies ready for another thrashing by us Irish amatuers!? Seriously, the rules series is a fantastic outlet for both our games. Where else (with the exception of our other game, hurling) are you going to get such full-blooded committment and skill at an unbelievable pace? Our team is...
