In the URC 3 sides have the hybrid ones (Munster, Dragons, Ospreys). 4 have the full plastic ones (Cardiff, Glasgow, Edinburgh, Connacht).

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.

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.

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

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

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
