GAA President Jarlath Burns reckons Gaelic football's new rules are 'working' and that we're close to having 'the perfect game'.

The former Armagh captain said he 'hit the jackpot' when he recruited Dublin great Jim Gavin to head up the Football Review Committee and to 'reimagine' how football should be played.
