All Blacks playmaker Ruben Love was warned of his responsibilities after he was caught swearing at an opposition player during Saturday\u2019s Super Rugby Pacific clash.<\/p>\n
The Hurricanes were taking on the Highlanders when the hosts were given a penalty when visiting half-back Adam Lennox collided with Love after the 25-year-old had kicked the ball forward.<\/p>\n
Lennox made contact with his opponents\u2019 head when trying to charge down the ball.<\/p>\n
Whether it was the scrum-half or another \u2018Landers player, something was clearly said to the All Black<\/a>, which he took exception to.<\/p>\n Love\u2019s X-rated outburst<\/p>\n He could be heard on the ref mic shouting, \u201cyou f*****g suck bro\u201d, and the man in charge of the clash, Angus Gardner, was clearly aware that his outburst would be noticed at home.<\/p>\n Love<\/a> was duly reprimanded by Gardner, who reminded him that the weekend had been designated as \u2018kids round\u2019.<\/p>\n \u201cHey, hey, hey, you\u2019re on TV,\u201d the referee told the \u2018Canes<\/a> star. \u201cHey mate, listen, I know he slapped you in the face but don\u2019t use language like that. It\u2019s kids round.\u201d<\/p>\n The fly-half spoke to Sky Sport NZ afterwards and looked rather sheepish as he apologised for his actions.<\/p>\n \u201cSorry to everyone out there, that\u2019s not on. I\u2019ll take that on the chin, that\u2019s my bad, I\u2019ve got to be better.\u201d he said.<\/p>\n Christian Cullen urges Dave Rennie to put Ruben Love \u2018with the big dogs\u2019 as All Blacks clamour grows for Hurricanes star<\/a><\/p>\n \u2018I know he slapped you in the face, but don\u2019t use language like that, it\u2019s Kids Round\u2019 \ud83e\udee2 Ruben Love got put into place after his emotions got the better of him \ud83d\ude2c<\/p>\n \u21b3 Super Rugby Pacific.
