Ireland manager Colm O'Rourke has called up Galway midfielder Sean O Domhnaill for next Sunday's decisive match against the touring Australians in Croke Park.

O Domhnaill, 6'5" and one of the form players in the closing stages of the championship, is the fourth player to be called up following injuries to Brian Stynes, John McDermott and Colm McManamon in the first test last Sunday.

O Domhnaill's Galway midfield partner Kevin Walsh, as well as Eoin Gormley and Gerard Cavlan of Tyrone, were called up on Monday.

Yesterday, O'Rourke confessed that he was not sure about the situation regarding Glen Ryan of Kildare who is due to play for his club, Round Towers, on Sunday. It appears that efforts are being made to have the match postponed.
