Yes, it was on last year. Rainfall is irrelevant as they water the pitch copiously to keep it growing. The pitch gets distressed every time it’s used, with compaction, divots and cuts. Rugby brings different issues due to the weight of the scrum, maul or ruck all over the pitch. Rugby pitches used to have a longer leaf length left on the grass, though not at the GTech, which is primarily a football ground. Professional football pitches are essentially like carpet now,
