Whether you are a fellow parent, a child, or just a spectator, it's always a little awkward when a parent shouts, screams, and gets too excited. There have been many concerns about parents' behaviour next to the rugby field and their treatment of the referees. Stefan van Zyl was the ref for an under-15 C school match over the weekend.
