A call for New Zealand Rugby to protect referees more.

The Horowhenua Kapiti Rugby Union has postponed fixtures this weekend after a referee was so seriously abused he had to be escorted to his car over safety fears.

Last month, the union said in response to escalating abuse towards match officials – highlighted by a person threatening to stab a referee – that they would cancel all senior club games if behaviour didn’t improve.

Mike Hester, Participation Development Manager at NZ Rugby Union, joined Jason Pine to unpack the situation.
