The Great Britain Bulldogs have named their squad for the 2014 International Cup, featuring a large contingent of UK nationals who are currently playing Down Under.
Of the 27 members in the primary squad, 13 are presently playing league football in Australia - 10 in Victoria and one each in Queensland, South Australia and NSW.
A number of players will be familiar to WFN readers from previous cups, including Anthony Trigg and Adam Ballard, who were offered places training with VFL clubs Preston and Port Melbourne respectively after the IC 2011 and have remained in Australia.
The squad's British-based component is mainly a mix of London and regional England players. No players from the Scottish league were selected, although two players from Welsh club the South Cardiff Panthers made the cut.
