During a Central Queensland Western Rugby League (CQWRL) semi-final match, Robbie’s cousin, Mark Webb, shone as the star fullback for the Dalby Necktatts Opens side. They secured a hard-fought 23-20 victory against their rivals, Warwick City Methlabs.
However, in the 70th minute, Webb’s actions took an unfortunate turn when he was red-carded for what witnesses described as a “disgusting head-high tackle reminiscent of past decades.”
Despite the referees’ decision, some members of the crowd, including the visiting Hollywood superstar, Ms. Robbie, expressed her disapproval through jeers and booing.
“He fell into it, fuck ya!” shouted the actress.
“Are your eyes fuckin’ paintin on or what ref!?”
“You look good in pink then ya fuckin’ punce. This isn’t fuckin’ netball!”
While her passion for the game is understandable, showing respect for match officials and their decisions is equally crucial. Perhaps some reflection on her actions could help set a positive example for sportsmanship in the future.

In December 2019, before his international debut for Wales, Rees-Zammit posted a photo of himself playing for Gloucester. Alicia Scholes, daughter of football legend Paul Scholes, humorously suggested an England debut was imminent, despite Rees-Zammit’s Welsh roots. He firmly replied, “Wales*”.
In a BBC interview, Rees-Zammit spoke about his past relationship with Alicia, a professional netball player for London Pulse. He revealed the light-hearted attempts by her father to sway him towards England, which he steadfastly resisted.
Alicia and her father Paul found themselves in the spotlight in 2021 due to a viral video that led to playful banter among rival supporters.
