 Last year we saw the development of Aussie rules in southern China when Andrew Sawitsch reported on the South China AFL league and the AFL has just opened an academy in Guangzhou with the aim of developing Chinese players and bringing two players to the AFL draft combine in Melbourne.

Now we see the work of Macau based Aussie expat Darrell Egan who has been training and promoting Aussie Rules in Dongguan, another of the major cities in Guangdong province and forming the Dongguan Blues Football Club.

We present a recent interview with Darrell from Radio Australia where Darrell tells that story of what he has achieved so far.
