Coulter (left) says his days wearing the Ireland jersey are over

The Mayobridge clubman was angered by the Australian tactics in Sunday's Second Test and he has joined the calls for the series to be abandoned.

"I think they should call it off. I'll not be back near it," Coulter told the Irish News.

Coulter was elbowed in Sunday's game at Croke Park but he was more upset by the injury sustained by Graham Geraghty.

The Meath man was left unconscious after a heavy challenge by Australia's Danyle Pearce during the chaotic first quarter and he had to be taken to hospital before being released on Sunday evening.

"I was 100 per cent behind the game. I didn't think it was too bad but after seeing Graham lying on the ground.

"I was the first one over to him. He couldn't breathe and there was stuff coming out of his mouth. I thought to myself:'This isn't on'."

I would hate to see the bully boys win Sean Boylan

GAA president Nickey Brennan appears to share Coulter's believe that the series has run its course.

Brennan said the GAA will consult with managers, players and committees but the series "is hanging by a thread".

He described the second test against Australia as "a major embarrassment to the organisation".

He apologised on behalf of the GAA to all who attended the match, especially the 20,000 children who were in Croke.

The GAA's Central Council is scheduled to discuss the series next month and there are certain to be vocal calls for the discontinuation of the hybrid game.

Ireland manager Sean Boylan said on Monday that he would "hate to see the bully boys win" and would like to think that "everyone had done everything they can to rescue the series".

However his predecessor Pete McGrath said he believed those calling for the series to continue were "defending the indefensible".
