The squads have been announced for this weekend's Allianz GAA Football Inter-Provincial Series at Croke Park, which will trial rule changes proposed by the Football Review Committee.
The Leinster squad is led by Dublin’s nine-time All-Ireland winning history makers James McCarthy and Stephen Cluxton, with 11 counties represented for the boys in green.
Armagh’s All-Ireland winners have a strong presence in the Ulster ranks and are led by Paddy Burns, Oisín Conaty, Aidan Forker, and Rian and Oisín O’Neill.
Connacht’s squad includes players from London and New York and is led by Mayo’s Aidan O’Shea and Galway’s Cillian McDaid.
Kerry’s experienced duo Tadhg Morley and Diarmuid O’Connor headline the Munster squad.
Friday night will see Connacht face Leinster at 6pm followed by the meeting of Ulster and Munster at 8pm.
The inter-pro series has been revived for the first time since 2016 to trial the seven 'core enhancements' put forward by the Football Review Committee, which will be voted on at special congress at the end of November.
The proposed new rules include keeping three players in the opposition half, restrictions on goalkeepers taking possession and extra points for long-distance shots and goals.
