Tyrone goalkeeper Niall Morgan and Roscommon forward Diarmuid Murtagh were on opposite sides of the interprovincial series final on Saturday.Morgan saved four penalties to lead Ulster to a shootout win, including one from Murtagh, who scored 1-02 over the course of the 60 minutes (played in four 15-minute quarters).Speaking to RTÉ Sport, both men gave their take on playing under the FRC's proposed new rules for Gaelic football."We had to do something," Morgan told Damian Lawlor of the trend towards mass defences."It was great for me because I was getting to come up the pitch at my leisure and getting the ball and getting loads of touches.

But it just slowed the game down a wee bit too much."Is it a case of saying, look, put them all in now and we can see what it's like after the league and review it then or is it a case of doing a big review now?

There's that wee bit more jeopardy in a league game and you're going, 'I'm not going to force that kick pass', so it'll be interesting to see how the teams merge it come the league.

And then maybe it's a case of reviewing after that."But something had to give and they're smart men in charge of doing the review.
