Patrick Horgan feels the decision not to award Robbie O’Flynn a free in extra-time underlines the need for a version of video refereeing in major hurling games.

Conor Leen’s jersey pull on Cork substitute O’Flynn in extra-time was not picked up by referee Johnny Murphy and O’Flynn’s shot went wide as Clare hung on to claim victory in last month’s All-Ireland final.
