You seem to have a problem with WFN now as a source.
Considering it's probably the only AFL approved site of it's type (even had your efforts) I would say it's very reliable.

Post it here.You made the claim here ,so some evidence please.
EDIT.
Where in the international section.
The only thing there is a list(mostly BS IMO) of Countries that supposedly play AFL

WE are not talking AFL here ,we are talking about your claim of the HUGE growth & number of games of IR .
So where is the proof.

Me suspects you are telling whoppers as shown by pointing me to a board that has no info about IR.

crapper this NOT TFC and I have no reason to reply when you deliberately misquote me and lie.
If you go to the international section you will see the number of teams that have used IR for various reasons.
I don't have time to pass every detail past you this is NOT TFC.
I don't have a problem discussing my references with anybody who is interested in talking football.

NO this is not TFC so stop deflecting.

There is NOTHING in the International section about IR .
& if you have time to make BS claims ,you have time to post a source or proof.

So far all there is ,is DEFLECTION.

In case you have forgotten I am also posting on that thread.
You posted a list ( compiled by you or WIKI or some other laughable source)& tried to claim it was a list of countries playing AFL.

It has nothing to do with your claim here of Huge growth in IR. No evidence whatsoever in that thread to support your claim.No evidence here either.
IR is NOT AFL OR AR.
Yet you continue to avoid posting any proof.
All you do is ignore or deflect.
So if no proof is forthcoming I will just assume that this thread is based on a figment of your imagination.

This what I posted "a huge number of these games at amatuer level facilitating the growth of fledgling AR clubs around the world."
I have posted a table of countries that have participated in IR matches.
Of course there are many more clubs within those countries that have participated in IR matches.
The "proof" is easily garnered if a little time consuming.
As I stated IR matches with GAA clubs are just one aspect of the development on Australian Football clubs,
an interesting aspect but one that has a limited timeframe in sucessful development.
IR games are for the mutual benefit of the clubs involved but IMO AR gets the better deal.
(no proof of that - just my own personal opinion there)

You can waffle on all you like ,but the simple fact is there is not one shred of evidence of .
The main reason the series should continue IMO is because of the littler known fact that there is a huge number of these games at amatuer level
& unless you can provide some proof(not some list you made up) then it is laughable to say "HUGE NUMBER">
Up to you to show something..

crapper I've already posted to wookie's satisfaction there are a number of IR games are played around the world.
He disputes the word "huge" as huge is a qualiative and relative term.
Certainly there are a huge number of games between amateur AFC and GAAs compared to the very few at professional level.\
Obviously you are making other comparisons. So be it.
The games are usually held prior to the commencement of the season proper to mutually raise interest in both codes.
IMO AR gets the better side of the deal as it appears (and this I don't have proof of) AFCs have gained players with GAA experience.
After doing research on other subjects I have come across quite a few more examples than when I started.

actually youve never posted anything to my satisfaction, you've shown that there are some annual games and a couple of annual tournaments here and there.
And so IR DOES exist as a bridge between amateur AFCs and GAA clubs.
The_Wookie wrote:
There is NOT a huge number of games anywhere.
And I did state there was a difference of opinion on the use of the word "huge" and where you made a comparison.
I made the comparison between amateur and professional games NOT between the general level of competition.
As stated before, the importance of these games is to create mutual interest in the two codes to launch the football season.
