    Poor sideline behaviour is present across other sporting codes than just rugby

    Poor sideline behaviour is present across other sporting codes than just rugby


    That's the claim from North Harbour Rugby Union boss Adrian Donald.

    Referee abuse is in the spotlight after the Horowhenua-Kapiti union postponed all rugby this weekend in response to an incident at a college game.

    But Donald says it's not just rugby.



    Speaking of netball, the Waikato Bay of Plenty Magic visit the Southern Steel in Invercargill shortly, in a crucial match-up for ANZ Premiership playoffs places.
