I agree with that. I was brought up to applaud good play, good moves, good runs, good tries & good rugby whether it was my team or not.exile in Tiger country wrote:Nothing wrong with applauding good rugby, especially from a team that is so far away it is unfair to expect large numbers of fans to travel week in, week out.
True sportsmanship from the Wigan fans.

Re: 18th man
Anyone can support a team when it is winning, that takes no courage.
But to stand behind a team, to defend a team when it is down and really needs you,
that takes a lot of courage. #18thMan

Not what I am talking about. Yeas good rugby deserves praise, but chanting for opposition at kick off stinks

I still applauded my team for the effort that some players did put in. So I guess that makes me a "Happy Clapper", but I was far from happy
