Why GAA will keep first 15 and get with the programme

The most basic numerical system in the GAA is the team lineout: one to 15.

Lately there have been calls for a squad approach, for giving panellists numbered jerseys from one to 30, as managers make so many changes in personnel and positional switches that the programme lineout is worthless.

I asked GAA Operations Manager Fergal McGill to outline the rationale behind sticking to the 1 to 15 template.
