Artificial pitches should have no place in rugby. They pose a massive problem for players' knees and ankles.
But . . . but . . . Sarries have one, and if they have one, it must be the best!
oh . . . yeah, sorry . . . I agree.
Apart from player welfare, they also give a massive advantage to teams used to playing on them against teams not used to them. I guess Ulster at least train on a small one, but I think the most that should be allowed is them thar ones with plastic grass through natural turf (Aviva?).

35-29 in the end. Dragons had possession in the red and kicked it out for the losing bonus point. Sums up the ambition of Welsh Rugby.
Just heard Fez and the other bloke (looks not unlike a younger Michael Palin) talk about a really exciting run for the Pro 14. Nah. Our game with Leinster will be exciting but, apart from that one, can we really see Leinster dropping any points against anyone else? Actually, can we really see them not getting a full five against anyone else?

One forlorn hope might be for an Italian ref, Italian TJs and Italian TMO (especially that last one) against Zebre during the 6N.
Nah, not even that would do it ...
