clumsiness

The game, unsurprisingly, was a cavalcade of clumsiness.

"I regret my clumsiness and lack of care in choosing my words and can see the upset and offence they caused," he said.

A child's personality and behavior may change, and clumsiness or stumbling develops between the ages of five and ten.

Marc said: "They would say, 'How's the mum now?'. It's surrogate not mum. I think it's more clumsiness than anything else or lack of knowledge."

There may have been no malice in his clash, but clumsiness carries a high price in modern rugby and avoiding paying is a skill in itself.
