Helen O’Reilly Q&A: 'One No. 8, who was trying to wind up his opposite number, said ‘Ref, you should be at home doing the dishes!’'
Helen O’Reilly won All-Ireland league medals with her native Ashbourne and St Mary’s before taking up refereeing in 2010. She was one of only two Northern Hemisphere refs at the 2014 Women’s World Cup and is now on the IRFU’s elite panel. In 2016 she was the first women to do touch judge in a PRO12 game, and in 2017 refereed a second tier men’s international.
