stles - absolutely fabulous pictures! Wow!

Although the pitch looks a bit scraggly around the edges, doesn't it?

Is that a manhole cover in the corner? Please tell me it's not a manhole cover but just something left behind by the builders!

Most modern stadia have built in sprinkler and drainage. It will be linked to that.

But its on the edge of the pitch, where players can be found. Isn't it dumb to put a manhole cover on the edge of a rugby pitch? I'm thinking injuries.

It is no more dangerous than the masses of concrete around the edge of the pitch.

But that's a bit further away. The manhole cover looks very close to the ingoal area when players can slide for long distances, especially in wet weather.

And I agree that the concrete is dangerous.
