Cormac McAnallen one of three Tyrone players in Rules panel

Three of Tyrone's All-Ireland winning team are including Ireland's International Rules panel for the two Tests in Australia next month.

Cormac McAnallen is joined by Tyrone colleague Kevin Hughes and Brian Dooher in a 27-strong squad that features 10 representatives from Ulster.

Hughes and Dooher are involved for the first time in the annual abttle with Australia.

Armagh have also three players with the experienced Kieran McGeeney joined by debutant Steve McDonnell and Paul McGrane.

McGeeney, along with sole derry representative Sean Marty Lockhart are the only survivors from the 1998 series when the Tests were revived after an eight-year lapse.

Other Ulster players in the panel captained by Cork's Graham Canty are Donegal's Kevin Cassidy, Monaghan's Thomas Freeman and Benny Coulter from Down - all of whom will be making their Rules debut.

Also making their debuts are Enda Murphy, Declan Browne, Colin Corkery, Gary Cox, Cathal Daly, Joe Higgins, Tom�s Kelly, Brian McDonald, and Odhran O'Dwyer.

All told there are 17 counties represented on the panel who will face Australia in the already sold out opening Test in Perth's Subiaco Oval on 24 October.

The second Test is at the MCG in Melbourne on 31 October and with the Ireland playing the Wallabies in the Rugby World Cup the following day, a crowd of over 80,000 is expected.

Twelve players return from last year's series which Australia won.
