The Football Review Committee (FRC) has said new rule changes will lead to quicker games and require higher levels of fitness from players.

FRC members, former Mayo and Clare managers James Horan and Colm Collins, claim changes will be required from strength and conditioning teams to prepare Gaelic footballers for the ball being in play considerably more because of rules such as the “solo and go”, which will allow fouled players to continue without taking a free.
