Good. About time someone stepped up and said enough is enough. Referees cop way too much abuse for a hobby.
mate, they tried warnings and bans. No one listened. This is the only way.
ffs another overreaction. Just ban the dickheads who abused them not the whole bloody weekend.
get a grip. we all want refs safe but this just punishes the decent folk.
One weekend off won't change anything unless they actually punish the abusers hard.
easy to say when you're not the one copping it every weekend.

As a ref's wife, I've seen grown men scream at my husband over a high school game. This is needed.
wellington rugby always been soft. stop being so woke.
yeah nah I'm for punishing abusers but this is a collective punishment. bad approach.
Cancel club rugby? That's a joke. Punish the offenders, not the whole community.
I'd rather play than be abused. These volunteers keep the game going, we need to back them.
tbh some of the parents on the sideline are worse than the players. absolute clowns.
facts. sideline parents think they're in the world cup final.
