Munster chairman Ger Ryan has warned a combination of the minor grade at inter-county and club level returning to U18 without decoupling will put talented teenagers in jeopardy of burnout.

Speaking in his address to the province’s annual convention, the Tipperary native, a former chairman of the medical, scientific and welfare committee as well as the age grades group, expressed his fear as there appears to be growing support for doing away with decoupling.
