Former Galway defender and triple All-Ireland winner Sylvie Linnane believes that camogie is now more physical than hurling because of the way the game has changed.

A teak-tough corner-back, Linnane said that the modern game is not enjoyable and he reckons the ball needs to be made heavier and more physical contests to be allowed and encouraged.
