A prominent Tipperary GAA figure is warning that the club game is 'going down the very same line' as rugby.
Drom-Inch hurling manager Ted Kennedy fears that 'ordinary' players will drift away from the association's sports if more isn't done to meet their needs.
IRFU Chief Executive Philip Browne has admitted that many rugby clubs are struggling to survive since the advent of professionalism two decades ago.
Kennedy says the GAA must act to ensure that the grassroots are kept healthy.
