Interview - Conor O Shea managing refs

Video Subtitles

Referees have never changed my mind, but I think you can ask the pertinent question certainly in terms of ensuring just getting something into the head of a referee. If you feel that you have been penalized and all the teams getting away. Just knowing when the right time is is something that I think Captain's will grow into because when you're a young Captain, you probably want to be talking the whole time to the referee talking to your players as you grow into a roll you understand there are times when a ref get irritated because the crowds on the back the players are shouting out of them. There's a time you kind of go. Listen. I'm going to leave them alone here, but there might be a quiet time. There's an injury and go up you can have a quiet word so interaction with but you're never going to change someone's mind. So don't be confrontational just be very matter-of-fact and go with something sensible as opposed to a twinge the whole time.
