Wednesday 13 May 2026: Waikato Rugby CEO Amy Marfell on abusive sideline behaviour in children's sport
Description
On Sports Fix with D'Arcy Waldegrave for 13 May 2026, this week, the Waikato Rugby Union posted an open letter to Facebook pleading parents, coaches, spectators and supporters of children's sport to watch their behaviour on the sidelines as there have already been a number of reports of abusive behaviour on the sidelines since the junior sport season started. Amy Marfell is the CEO of Waikato Rugby and she joined D'Arcy to discuss.
D'Arcy shares his thoughts on his engagement in Football as the start of the FIFA World Cup looms.
And D'Arcy and New Zealand Herald sports journalist Alex Powell discuss the potential for Luke Metcalf to leave the Warriors and whether the sideline abuse at children's sport has accelerated in recent times.
