Limerick's Kyle Hayes has sympathy for referees over the application of new rules. "Hurling is such a physical game, along with football. "So if it’s a learning process for us, it’s a learning process for referees too. "Some refs might not have reffed a game for five or six months," Hayes pointed out. Similarly, Tipperary’s Brendan Maher said he was “confident” now that confusion over rules would not blight the season, despite early fears.
