The likes of Luke Hodge, Joel Selwood, Nic Naitanui, Patrick Dangerfield, Nat Fyfe and Brent Harvey will train at the GIANTS’ Learning Life Centre on Tuesday November 18, as the Australian International Rules squad tunes up for its one-off clash with Ireland in Perth.
Swans co-captains Kieren Jack and Jarrad McVeigh will be part of a three-strong red and white contingent, with defender Nick Smith also in the side, which is entirely comprised solely of current or former All-Australian players, following a change in eligibility rules.
