The one thing that separates rugby from other sports - 🏉. Total respect and discipline towards the refs - it has been our backbone…. well certainly used to be! This clip is great to see but IMO sadly respect for refs is slowly eroding from our great game week to week and too often is allowing for questioning of the ref at all stages of their match ( on and off field) especially in key decisions! Victim culture - everyone’s hard done by if it doesn’t go their way - right or wrong ( human ) refs decisions are final - as frustrating as that might be! Errors occur sometimes in your favour, sometimes it goes against you. Get over it and play on! “Managing The Ref” in a professional environment has become the norm! Many very well know top players have contributed significantly to this. And should have been corrected on their behaviour! The resultant affect? - So much so now on social media much of the public thinks that’s refs are open season to be continously questioned, attacked, abused. Players are seen to be allowed to discuss, disagree and often argue with officials week after week - so why shouldn’t fans, other level players and kids & parents watching and playing do anything different?? @worldrugby if you don’t take a very hard line soon - direct, educate why, but ultimately act to stamp out the constant diatribe and victim culture that is creeping into the game - and insist on TOTAL respect for officials ( whatever the decision ( right, wrong or indifferent l) rugby will cease to have their one advantage over other sports 🏉! Once gone you will never recover it, and neither will the sport!
