Force 24 - Crusaders 29

[bort]

1. Our inability to cleanly recover the ball off a kickoff. I dare say we fumbled all our kickoff receptions and put ourselves under needless pressure in a situation that we should normally be setting foundation for attack.

i noticed this too. and then when it came time for us to kick off we applied nowhere near the same amount of pressure we were given

I can't wait to see inside rugby this week!

What, to see if they remember Australia HAS a 4th franchise?

[Terri]

Oh that's gotta be one of the most heartbreaking ways to end (and lose) a match doesn't it, missing the ball!

Only read the first page, so in regards to booing at a sports match: ugh?
That's pretty much all I have to say on that.

[Jess]

well said.

[jargan83]

Not a fan of booing, unless its when the ref gets something completly wrong

[Terri]

Not even then. Come on, who here has ref'd?
I tried doing it once for hockey and hated it. That was with maybe 30 people on the sideline......

[jargan83]

Ive been various different sporting officials (except a rugby ref). You cop it from everywhere.

Try being a 15 year old referee in western sydney at a rugby league game

[GIGS20]

I've reffed as well and if I make a bad call I reckon i deserve to be booed, I try not to make patently stupid calls that's just it.

I won't boo every decision a ref gives against us, only the PLAINLY OBVIOUS ones!

That's just the way I roll sista!

[Jess]

I will only ever boo when there's complete and utter unsportsman ship behaviour. So I boo at the offending player. Not ever at the Ref... he's trying his best.

[jargan83]

I boo him because odds are i want to call him something i can't print here and theres children sitting around me at the game

[Terri]

What was it? ~27,000 people watching.... waiting to boo... no pressure

[KenyaQuin]

I normally shout "Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo" at the ref, could that be confused for a "booooooooooooooooooooooooooooo"...perhaps the end bit?

Other than that, not a boo from me unless ofcourse, its the last minute of the game and the opposition is taking a game-winning penalty..desperate times, desperate measures.

[GIGS20]

Sunday I was begging Danny to go for the kick!

I would've taken a drop goal attempt!
