Arena with Maurice Brosnan: How the two-pointer is changing Gaelic football

What has the two-pointer done to the way teams attack or defend? How will it evolve? Can Rob kick a two-pointer with his right foot? We answer these questions and more during a roundtable discussion.

The lads were talking on behalf of RYPT, the official player management software partner of the GAA.

RYPT is an Irish athletic development platform built to solve the problems sports coaches experience on a daily basis. Its user base includes All-Ireland Champions Kerry GAA, Munster Rugby, Kilkenny GAA, Shelbourne FC and many more.

From June 2026, coaches and players can sign up to RYPT and access the Two Point Club training programme via the RYPT library, developed by intercounty performance coaches to help athletes build the physical qualities needed to score two pointers.
