[QUOTE="dasNdanger, post: 575324, member: 61962"] Excellent comments there - I will have to read the rest of the article as soon as I get a free moment. I totally agree with what is being said in those clips you posted. I've always felt that respect was a key element in the game. It starts with players respecting the referee, then respecting each other, then respecting the fans, and - in turn - the fans respecting the players. I remember when I first started watching the referees often referred to the players as 'gentlemen', especially when setting the scrum. You don't hear that as much now, but I think it helped to remind the players that they weren't hooligans, and that just as the ref respectfully addressed them, they needed to show the same respect in turn. Would like to say more but I am super tired. I think Friday night/Sat morn has finally caught up with me. :P das [/QUOTE]
