      When I was refereeing, our regional advisor (ex-international referee) advised that we do this any time a player showed dissent.
      Makes a referees job easier, and also protects the next referee.
      After marching back 10m several times, usually a team shuts up, or the coach replaces the offenders.

      Because the media and fans worship their favourite players, so the players eventually start to believe all the hype. They like to collect the “professional” paycheque, sign the autographs, take the selfies, screw the groupies, and read about themselves in the paper, but forget about the sacrifice and discipline that got them to the top. Ego takes over and becomes arrogance. Try that sort of behaviour the next time you disagree with your boss in public. Flap your arms, scream like a stuck pig, swear and prance around while berating a person with authority over you. See what happens. If it happens once in the heat of the moment, it’s more understandable, but for serial offenders like Biggar, Farrell, Vunipola, Sinckler, O’Gara, and Hartley the coaches should have made it clear: you are hurting the team. Shut the f*ck up, or you can watch from the stands.

    Barnes being very very lenient with Vunipola, so good to see shortly after Luke pearce marching him and his team back 20 meters for it. Also liked Tom Foley's approach "I'll keep going". Makes a statement even more so than the 10m penalty, the sooner said player stops throwing their toys out of the pram and gets on with the game, the less territory it'll cost them!

      ​@@stevenmcalister826 You can complain about the referees as much as you like, just not on the pitch, with foul language, and during play. If we accept that kind of behaviour, the sport goes the way of football, and it trickles all the way down to the grassroots.
      It's imperative that the referees draw a line in the sand as they have been doing, and make it clear. We must put our faith in the Unions to ensure good officiating - the alternative is a game riddled with man-children screaming in the referee's face for every decision they disagree with, which is not only tiresome, but dangerous in a contact sport.

It's not a god complex, it's about maintaining order on the field in what is a dangerous game.

Football is bad because the refuse to sort the actually issue out, the game of rugby and how it’s referees at the top level to grassroots is wider than the Amazon, in football it’s still very much the same set of laws, conventions & interpretations.
