NORTH Sydney Oval looms as the likely home for this year's first ever AFLW Origin clash between Australia and Ireland.

A number of potential locations in multiple states have been scouted for the blockbuster one-off fixture to be played later this year, with the 16,000-capacity North Sydney Oval now understood to be firming as the most likely location.

As revealed by AFL.com.au last month, an agreement for Australia and Ireland to play in a first-ever Australian Football women's fixture is edging closer with the clash now set to be held in July or August.

Think this is a good idea - it is an AFL match -and as plenty of Irish women playing, should be good.

This idea is good, plenty of Irish people in Australia to support the visitors should give the games some atmosphere.
Should be some Guinness on tap at the ground

Who thought up this hot mess of nothin'. Fumblehouse is truly outta ideas - this is a joke. This would have to be the most meaningless 'sporting' event in Australia ever.

Dumb and dumber and could come up with better ideas than this.
