Armagh manager Paddy O'Rourke is braced for a Laois backlash.

The Orchard County's next NFL Division Two outing is against the O'Moore County in Portlaoise on Saturday March 6 and O'Rourke believes Laois - who lost their two opening matches - will respond like a wounded animal.

"Without a doubt, they'll be a different side from the one that lost to Donegal," he notes.

"Traditionally, the third game's always hard. The break gives the teams with no points a chance to regroup and come out strong. We're aware of that.

"Laois have no points. They'll have their players back from suspension and the Portlaoise players back.

"They'll be getting themselves really geared up because they could be in danger of getting relegated if they lose three in a row."
