About this listen

The Horowhenua-Kāpiti Rugby Union has taken the unprecedented step of threatening to cancel senior club rugby matches in response to escalating abuse towards match officials.

Club referees are all volunteers, and CEO Corey Kennett says there’s been a slow and constant downward spiral in the treatment of officials.

He joined Piney to discuss what’s led to the club taking such drastic measures.

“Nobody wants this, so it’s a real combined approach to try and combat it.”
