An 11-year-old Australian boy of Cook Island Maori descent has been left in tears after he was described as "the big kid" and ordered off the field in the middle of a junior rugby tournament in Sydney this month.

Leo Farr's mum is furious. She's now calling for better communication from the Sydney Junior Rugby Union in an attempt to stop this happening to other children in the future.
