Insights
Rugby tradition is based on respect for your opponent. Supporters remain silent during kicks as a mark of this respect.
‘There is essentially a war on a field and then afterwards they shake hands with each other’
When the referee has to take action, it’s rare for there to be much complaining from the players.
‘Only a rugger can understand the mutual respect that is shared on the rugby pitch, and true rugby fans can see it.’
