ROSYN RUGBY DADS SERVE UP HILARIOUS PISS-TAKE IN POST-MATCH SHOWDOWN
An afternoon of friendly play descends into a feral display of parental madness.
It was a typical Saturday at the clubrooms in Roslyn, where the aroma of Deep Heat mixed with regret and broken dreams served as the backdrop for the latest episode of 'Hot-headed Dads Gone Wild.' Local rugby parents transformed into feral supporters faster than a ball flies out of the halfback’s hands, with one particularly vocal dad shouting at a volunteer ref like he was auditioning for Wellington's next blockbuster.

It never ceases to amaze me how some parents treat a Saturday rugby match like it's the Rugby World Cup. Maybe it's time we hand out stress balls at the clubrooms.

Ah, yes, the classic overenthusiastic rugby dad. If they put as much energy into supporting the community as they do yelling at the ref, Roslyn would be a utopia by now.

I say, let them have their fun! It's all part of the charm of local rugby. At least they're not running onto the field and tackling the ref themselves... yet!
