Refereeing ugly - dealing with the angst on and around the rugby pitch
Listen now
Description
Today, it's a solo episode looking at the one of the less pleasant sides of our game - the general increase in angst and poor behaviour on and around the rugby field. We have a look into how to manage and deal with these types of situations, whether it's players baiting each other, angsty touch judges, coaches, replacements and spectators.

I hope you can take something from the episdoe - even if you disagree with some it. There's no monopoly on the correct approach, and as Keith says, what works for him, may not work for you.
