I spend a good portion of every Sunday on a rugby field and part of that is encouraging parents to cheer good play and not yell at the children / coaches / referees when they make a mistake. I feel that "respect the X" (kicker, referee, opposition) is something that elevates rugby above other sports and don't want to see it marginalised.

Albert O Balsam Feb 2020 2:35pm, 10 Feb 2020 635 posts	Quote Pin Albert O Balsam The thing for me is that these differences need to be guarded to keep rugby 'elevated.' I've seen an increase in chat, the 'waving of cards' and there have even been accusations of 'simulation' over the past couple of years -- and I don't think this is the right way to go
