Episode 3. Ben O’Keeffe
With officiating being a massive part of our game, the boys chatted with the world-renowned man in the middle, Ben O’Keeffe.
Ben gives the boys insight into how difficult refereeing can be, on and off the field. We delve into the preparation and analysis referees must undertake to ensure they are at the top of their game.
We also cover some of the brutality of rugby, from the media headlines and articles to the online abuse and messages when decisions don’t go their way. Abuse can go a long way to affect someone's game, and referees are often at the target for a lot of it. Ben opens up to us on how he deals with the negative comments and messages from after games.
Throughout this episode, you'll hear Ben's passion for rugby and just wishes to do his best for the sport. This episode opened up a perspective of the game that we were very much in the dark about. It’s given us an excellent opportunity to understand a referee's difficulties when trying to officiate a game we all love.
