If my water isn't from an aqueduct, I don't want to know!

Don't know why tights need to be okayed on all surfaces. Why can't it just be on artificial turf?
A lot of games are played on turf here in the states and at the lower levels we've allowed tights (unofficially) just cause turf burn sucks. I'd love to see turf banned but it's just makes economic sense for some clubs and universities.

Why are tights an issue anyway?
I didn't even know they weren't allowed tbh I remember a Perpignan 15 playing in them ages ago v Tigers
My guess is it might be harder to tackle? due to Grip IDK
I think they were explicitly allowe for the ladies (for purposes of religious modesty), but not for men, so it's just evening things up

I get players wanted to wear tights especially for keeping hamstrings nice and warm when people have problems with them. I also think they look stupid and wouldn’t be caught dead in them. I wear shorts all year round anyhow. Flip flops, shorts and a hoodie is my standard dress code all year.
Either way unless there is a serious issue about them stopping or hindering tackles (is that even an issue) I can’t see what the problem is with them.

interesting stats, ive been saying it for a while, NZ/Aus need to start only opening the stand opposite the camera to pack the crowd in, build a little atmosphere and give the impression at very least that its a fun pace to go and spend a few hours!
ultimately we need to stop building stadiums for the one AB test a year we get and build them for the 20 games of club rugby (Super/NPC)

Interesting that Sale's owners are now lead investors in the non-league football side Altrincham - who own their own grounds
Only 1300 seats (plus a few thousand terraced) but our main issue with getting a new stadium is finding a site rather than anything money related (especially now the Oranges are billionaires) - building a new stadium in Alty would be excellent, trains and trams right on the doorstop etc.

Good video.
Surprised with the top 14 numbers. Thought they would be higher.
Completely agree with the visual on telly making it look worse.
South Africa have massive stadiums, so normally looks very sparse, even though their attendance is solid for the most part.
Sales main group of supporters had always been Cheshire based I felt so it would make it so much easier for them without cutting off greater Manchester connection
