Yes, when I think they're being a bloody pain and should kick for corner and play some RUGBY rather than practise kicking.
Other times no.
No - because I read somewhere it just wasn't rugby
In saying that, I'll also boo my team kicking if they're taking a penalty when they don't really need to. I'm not fussy about who - I just like to let them know it's rugby not kicking practise I come to watch.
I may heckle the decision (along the lines of what Robyn is saying), but never the act of kicking.
Very poor form for mine and weight of numbers doesn't make it any more acceptable.
They're not booing - they're saying "Boo-urns! Boo-urns!"
(No I don't incidentally...)
Yes, especially when your surrounded by opposition supporters. I only "boo" kickers a bit, but if none of us did then how weird would it sound on TV if only the Australian kicker was being "boo'd".
Anyway, obviously those who don't Boo are in the right here so im not saying we need any more people. But i see it as part of the home ground advantage ;)
It would be fantastic ;)Quote:

It is a little bit sad - they never used to have to ask the crowd for silence. They just did it.
Its all about respect and its awesome.
in Wales they ask that you respect each team and to refrain from yelling out during pauses in the game such as penalties/conversions
boo the decision to kick, when it is unnecessary... even if its australia...
Don't boo, but have other opposition conversion rituals :P
"pffft..." :eek:
We leave that to the poms' silent assassins, Coach.
I've read a couple of times that the players "don't hear" the crowd when they're concentrating on their kick. They just tune it out. Given that, it would seem to be pointless to jeer.
At Subi it probably wouldnt help anyway alsoQuote:

Certainly attack the decision if warranted, but silence for the kick!
