[QUOTE="psychic duck, post: 543506, member: 48703"] Well Marc Jones won't ever be playing at the Millennium Stadium so he doesn't have to worry. I'm no scientist, but playing on this is certainly worse for knee ligaments than this anyway. With a change of pitch we can finally stop the farce of players falling all over the place at the Millennium Stadium, have better quality matches, better player welfare and finally and importantly the WRU save "millions" as maintaining the Millennium Stadium turf is very expensive compared to artificial. Seems like a simple decision to me. That "tradition" argument is nonsense as well, by that logic we should still be using pig bladders for the balls.
