Ah **** off ...the ground is too hard in the summer...Rugby is for the bitterly cold winter , throwing yourself around in the slop...no leave the summer for 7's or something but I will play my bog ball in the icy slop thank you very much
With the increasingly cold winters we've been seeing (although this year has been unusually mild), the pitches have been pretty rock-hard during the winter months aswell. The disruption we saw last year with re-arranged fixtures everywhere would be nice to avoid.
I personally think that the NH season needs to be completely overhauled, and introducing a global calendar would make a huge amount of sense if we want the game to grow. I don't see a problem playing during the summer months, although there could be some problems in the South of France when temperatures get a little high. Something needs to be done about the fragmented nature of the season here aswell, where players and clubs are forced to deal with a few weeks of club competition followed by a couple of Europe, then there's the farce of the LV. This is all before we factor in the breaks for the 6 nations etc. It's a bloody mess and needs to be sorted asap. Bringing in a global calendar isn't totally necessary, but general re-structuring is.
