Australia coach Alastair Clarkson would like to see the International Rules revert to a two-Test series.

While it's believed that the AFL insisted on the one-Test model for this year's series, Clarkson feels there is enough interest among the players and the public for a return to two Tests in future series.

"It's only a one-Test series and we want it to be more than that and so we want to reinvigorate the series so we get an opportunity to travel abroad next year," he told reporters in Perth.

Clarkson says the selection of a squad completely made up of All-Australian award winners is an indication of just how serious the Aussies are taking tomorrow's game.

"If those guys want to continually put their hand up to play this great game of ours then there's about 780 footballers who want to do exactly the same thing.

"That leadership is going to be crucial for this concept from an Australian point of view anyway. This concept will hopefully stay alive and build. It's waned a little bit in the last few years. We're committed as an AFL and I'm sure the GAA are as well to get this up and going again and make it a really vibrant and ongoing thing for many years to come."
