Re: Plastic Pitch
Think the idea is they can train on it and up the number of games that can be played without it cutting up. (All women’s games) Haven’t seen any research to say there’s more injuries. Would personally rather just keep Pitch as it is. Use the £ on youth rugby.
Re: Plastic Pitch
Don't know, others might know. Probably the full plastic one, if it is a decision based on number of games played on the pitch.jean valjean wrote: ↑Fri Feb 24, 2023 8:16 pmWhich we going for?Neill_M wrote:In the URC 3 sides have the hybrid ones (Munster, Dragons, Ospreys). 4 have the full plastic ones (Cardiff, Glasgow, Edinburgh, Connacht).jean valjean wrote: ↑Fri Feb 24, 2023 7:31 pm In fairness some of the artificial pitches seem to be ok, dragons etc, just depends on what type they go for.

Don't tell Farrell it's full plastic. He'll be selecting it for Ireland games.

Re: Plastic Pitch
If it's got "Made in New Zealand" stamped on the back it's a shoo in.

Re: Plastic Pitch
Does it have to be in situ for 3 years before we get an international on it?

Lads lads - its about the concerts
Players don't want it - fans don't want it - Petrie wants it
One player was grilling the injuries expert about "the evidence" - he was quickly shut up

Neighbours won’t allow concerts.
