Sport, as we know, has so many, many upsides, but I wonder if we can find time for a statement or a debate on the issue of sport and behaviour, both on the sports field and off, following the unfortunate coverage of the on-field brawl during a rugby league 3 match during the weekend. As somebody who’s followed and even played rugby as a hooker as a youngster, and come off on the worst end of some of the dark arts at the bottom of a scrum or on a touchline, I do understand the passions. But when they boil over into anger or even into brawls—not only on the field, but I’ve often seen it as well unfortunately sometimes on the touchlines when it gets too heated.

So, it would be good to find a debate for that so that we could discuss that, the role of role models on the field, the role models of parents and spectators, but also to discuss the role of the governing bodies, such as the WRU and the FAW and others. This is exceptional, but, where it does happen, we need to speak out against it and make sure it doesn’t happen again.
