Ulster manager Kieran Donnelly expects one of the new rules implemented in Friday evening’s interprovincial senior football semi-finals in Croke Park will ensure players are on their best behaviour.

As a means of speeding up the game and cutting down on cynicism, players who have committed a foul must hand the ball back to the other team or risk the free being brought forward 50 metres.
