You names will be changed to protect the innocent... Are you a booer or teh silent type?
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.
A kick in this game is like a rather nasty alcoholic shooter, only as good as it's chaser...

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.
"Bloody oath we did!"

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![]()
Lansdowne Road - Ireland. There is a public announcement prior to each kick at goal "as a mark or respect to the kicker could we have silence please"
A couple of years ago Irish Rugby wrote to Matt Giteau and apologised that the crowd wasn't as silent as it should be.
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.

"Let me tell you something you already know. The world ain’t all sunshine and rainbows. It’s a very mean and nasty place and I don’t care how tough you are it will beat you to your knees and keep you there permanently if you let it. You, me, or nobody is gonna hit as hard as life. But it ain’t about how hard ya hit. It’s about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward. How much you can take and keep moving forward. That’s how winning is done! Now if you know what you’re worth then go out and get what you’re worth. But ya gotta be willing to take the hits, and not pointing fingers saying you ain’t where you wanna be because of him, or her, or anybody! Cowards do that and that ain’t you! You’re better than that!" - Rocky Balboa
in Wales they ask that you respect each team and to refrain from yelling out during pauses in the game such as penalties/conversions
Be There. Be Heard. Be The Force Behind The Force
boo the decision to kick, when it is unnecessary... even if its australia...
Don't boo, but have other opposition conversion rituals![]()
Success is not final, failure is not fatal:
it is the courage to continue that counts.

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.
