May 30th 2008 04:05
THE International Rules Series is back on after the Irish pulled the plug on the series after violent scenes marred the 2006 tests in Ireland.
The AFL and GAA confirmed that the tests will take place on October 24th in Perth and October 31st in Melbourne. Details of the stadiums to be used and other arrangements will be revealed at a later date.
The two organisations discussed many possible amendments to the rules, including restrictions on the full bodied tackle and possibly the introduction of a neutral referee to take charge of the tests, with rugby league officials a chance to be involved in the 2008 series.
