The Football Review Committee (FRC) is to request county teams’ game data to gauge the impact of the new rules.

At a press briefing on Friday, FRC chairman Jim Gavin revealed the body will be asking managers to provide information from players’ GPS devices, which provide metrics such as high speed and maximum speed running and total distance travelled in Allianz League and championship games.
