Paterson's Oval on the 22nd November sees the return of competition between Australia and Ireland in the hybrid game. The codes have chosen cautiously to entertain just the one game this time around.

Australia has chosen to breathe new life into the series by returning to an all-stars concept with eligibility given to only All-Australian players and the AFL have chosen Perth as host city undoubtedly because of it's previous solid support of the concept. That support should ensure a sellout as tickets are presently at the 30,000 mark and people are keen to see so many footballing stars together.

Today, the two players in the squad from Perth, Nat Fyfe and Nic Naitanui proudly displayed their team jumpers at Patterson's Oval. On Sunday, in Sydney they will join the rest of the team. Every member has been given a round ball with instructions to practice as frequently as possible. Nat Fyfe took his ball with him to Europe. As expected, both players were keen to be part of an international experience representing their country in front of a packed house.
