Richmond forward Nathan Brown has been named vice-captain of Australia's International Rules team.
Coach Garry Lyon announced the news to the players on Friday afternoon ahead of a training session at Croke Park, where Australia will play Ireland in the first test on Sunday.
"He deserves it," Lyon said. "Nathan's a third year player who is always keen to play. He plays it really well and I just felt it was time to give him that responsibility and see what he can do."
Brown was one of the better players during the series in Australia last year, with then Ireland coach John O'Keefe saying that Brown would be a devastating Gaelic football player should he ever make the switch.
James Hird is the Australian captain.

Good 4 Nafan !!
LMAOOOOOOOOO@Garry Lyon believing his efforts at coaching a fantasy team in a game that doesn't exist
should speak volumes about his ablility to coach at afl level.
I hate the prik.

lmfaoooooo@Lyon basing his coaching reputation on getting a team worth millions of dollars just over the line against a bunch of pub-dwelling, deformed leprechauns!
Oh yeah, congrats to Browny, he rules the cross-bred game
JohnF:
lmfaoooo@the leprechauns bamboozling Gazza's men.

Browny was the only one who could play this game. What a star :thumbsup. So much for Gary Lyon boasting about this squad being the most adapt at playing IR and then breaking the record by a mile for getting thumped.
lol @ the Irish commentator calling Joel "Jo-El".
Message to Gary Lyon: There is only one AFL player who can play the GK role and that's our Chubba.
