The South Africa Gaels are here and there are a few surprise names amongst their ranks.

Monaghan's Ryan Wylie and Dublin's Jack McCaffrey for starters. The two county stars were also joined by former Dublin and Derry manager, Brian Mullins. These GAA stars were at UCD's GAA grounds in Belfield to help South Africa Gaels prepare for their GAA World Games in Abu Dhabi on March 5. They also gave the Ladies side a brief pep-talk before they played the UCD international team in a challenge match. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jQl97DN6-60 The men’s team is the first all-African GAA team, established five years ago and made up of players from the townships of Johannesburg. They are being joined by the first all-African female South Africa Gaels team. ESB International, which is celebrating 40 years in business this year, is once again sponsoring their tour. Here's their schedule for their time in Ireland. Also, you can win their amazing jersey here.  Follow the South Africa Gaels tour in Ireland on Twitter via @ESB_intl or #SAGaelsESB
