An amusing yet slightly mean video has emerged of a man splashing his girlfriend with a water bottle during a rugby match in order to silence her cheering.

The footage, captured during a Rugby Sevens game in Dubai on Saturday, shows the man reacting in a hilariously disproportionate manner while his girlfriend screams 'go on New Zealand!'

After drenching his girlfriend with water, the man can be seen laughing to himself while she looks utterly traumatised.
