I cost my team the rugby match and made us lose, now i feel useless and stupid, can anybody help me get throug?

It was my first game ever a rugby match and we were slightly in the lead. Even though i played for the last 5min in the game i kicked the ball by accident to the opposition and failed to catch a ball, these mistakes allowed the opposition to take the ball and score. I feel really bad my team worked so hard and i messed it all up. This was the only form of exercise i had as i way 230 pounds but i quit after this because everybody hates me and i cried like a baby after the match as people blamed me and am 20 years old, i tried to shift the blame but it made it worse and it is pretty obvious i cost us the game. Please can anybody help me get over this?It was my first game ever a rugby match and we were slightly in the lead.

If the game was that close there are a dozen other things that could have lost the game for your team.

Everyone makes mistakes. You shouldn't beat yourself over these things as they happen, and it was only your first game. The important thing is to learn from your mistakes and become better as a result. Maybe watch some rugby videos on youtube or practice on your skills a bit more. Rugby is a great game and it should be enjoyed, so go out there and give it another shot!
