Michael Pyke

[QLD]

Former Canadian international rugby player Michael Pyke has been given permission to train with Australian Football team the Sydney Swans.
Personally I think he's too old to learn the skills of AFL even though he's a giant but in AFL its worth giving it a shot as teams can have non irish internationals and they do not count in the main squad or something..

heres a vid of him scoring against the AB's

Do you suppose he realises you dont take many intercepts in AFL or run a 100 yard like that? lol

That's the only thing (that intercept) that would ever warrant me playing as Canada on 08 I think haha... I remember it so vividly!
