Not sure the game itself is faster Dev. The balls maybe when compared to an old leather ball but the game these days seems to be played in short bursts. Quite often when a player lays the ball of he slows to walking pace and ambles upfield. The players around the ball seem to keep up with play whilst others take it steady.
The old fashioned wingers used to cover miles in a game with the inside forwards not far behind.
