Post not an Irish joke

RICHMOND is set to unveil its first international recruit, but the announcement has not been without a hiccup or two.
Jamie O'Rielly, a tall, rangy type from County Down, spent three weeks training with the Tigers before heading home last Sunday.
The 21-year-old has agreed to come back as an international rookie for 2010 and '11.
But such was the excitement, a report about O'Rielly's signing landed on the Richmond website.
The problem is the AFL has yet to give the OK for him to join the Tigers.
An interview with the Irishman for the Richmond website was accidentally posted on the site for a few hours.
O'Rielly comes to Australia outside the usual training camps and tests on prospective Irish recruits.
Richmond recruiting manager Francis Jackson saw him play a game of Gaelic football in Ireland in May.
Impressed, Jackson invited the youngster to trial for the Tigers.
Described as a half-back or midfield type, O'Reilly showed great promise in his three-week stint.
O'Rielly is set to return to Australia in about seven weeks.
Donegal player Sean O'Kennedy, described as being in the mould of Tadhg Kennelly, arrives for a trial with Collingwood this week.
