Just off the back of the Eddie Jones videos. I have seen a huge shift in Rugby fans over last few years. Swearing and abusing referees during the match. Abuse on twitter. #rugbyvalues and all that shite, it’s gone. Values in any walk of life seem to have gone. 2022. It’s sad.

Eddie Jones, the head coach of England, has unsurprisingly frequently found himself at the center of the conflict. It’s safe to say that Jones may not be the most well-liked man after his comment threads about the referee decisions in the first exam were not well obtained by the Australian media.
Then when he followed this up a week later by expressing how much he loves to quiet an Australian mass of people. He subsequently made a joke everyone was going to wear scarves, it’s clear why.
However, a video has surfaced of a supporter who may have overstepped the mark.
After England’s 21-17 triumph over Australia in Sydney, Cricket Pitch won the championship. One specific Australian fan was seen yelling insults at the England head trainer.
He accuses Jones of being a “Traitor” with aggression.
While being restrained by guards, Eddie Jones continuously yelled at the person in the audience to “Come here and say it”. Obviously furious by the insults he had endured.
The once-loud supporter then had a dramatic shift in attitude. Appearing to withdraw totally from the scenario and lose some of his earlier confidence.
Many on social media have defended Eddie. Saying that the England coaching staff was perfectly within his powers to respond in the manner that he did.
The film has also spurred a discussion about whether rugby supporters. In particular, are losing the reverence that frequently distinguished rugby from other sports.
Police also prosecuted another guy after he clambered onto the big screen and defecated from of the rooftop of the O’Reilly Stand in the back half of the season after a chaotic evening at the SCG for the third and final Test game of the series.
