THERE'S been hypothetical Irish and Australian representative teams aplenty over the years, and there's just one more to come before the real teams take to the field.

Now the squads have been released for the NAB AFLW Australia v Ireland representative game on August 1, check out how the teams could line up.

It has been confirmed that all 25 in each squad will play, leading to a split of 16 on the field and nine on the bench.

If any player withdraws between now and the game, back-up players will be called upon to bring the squad back to 25.

Here are AFL.com.au's predicted teams.
