Another instance of violence on our sports fields. 

A brawl broke out between parents and students during the rugby match between Auckland Grammar and De La Salle College. 

The match was called off, with eight police officers needed to break up the chaos. 

Former Springbok and Kings College Rugby 7s coach Kevin Putt told Mike Hosking while all-out brawls aren’t common, they see intolerance and volatility in the crowds nearly every week. 

He says that we’re living in a much more intolerant and volatile society, and even if another person tries to shut down abuse and poor behaviour, it can instead result in it escalating.
