Okay, after years if trying, I've finally worked out the difference between junior and adult rugby, particularly from those on the sidelines, but partly the players too.
Prime example this afternoon in an U16 County Cup QF. Call from one of the parents, "You missed that forward pass..."
Compare that to what I would expect on a Saturday, something more along the lines of, "Wasn't that a forward pass sir/ref..."
God, parents have an attitude problem... Anyway, everyone was happy with my performance and the fact that we got a good open game, despite the conditions (muddy, windy and at times hailing).
