Wales v New Zealand: Bystander, 80, hurt in stadium fight https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-wales-63533409

I hope this 80yr old gent is ok and makes a full recovery, apparently an innocent bystander knocked down several flights of stairs during a fight between two fans.

I, haven’t been to a rugby game for sometime partly due to the drunks in the crowd who spend more time going to the bar than watching the game, I have given up cricket for much the same reason. I enjoy a pint before and after a game but want to watch the game not the back of someone going back and fore to the bar all game.

The crowds just seem to be full of knobs with no interest in the game they have paid big bucks to “watch”

You wouldn’t get that behaviour from stoners

It's very grim reading that.
I won't go to the Stadium as it's full of show ponies and piss heads.
It's such a shame.
I really hope the players do something for this senior gent and call out the unacceptable behaviour.

There's more fights when a rugby game is on, than football, but football is always shown in a bad light by the press.. Police also treat it differently.. poor 80 year old bloke getting caught up in someone else's stupidity

Been to loads of rugby games and only seen one mass brawl (1980’s Morriston vs Bony - understandable really). Yes, it’s a p155up but it doesn’t have the aggression and fighting through the streets that happens so often in football. Get real for Christ’s sake, you’d think each match day is more akin to a chapel outing the way you are talking. The total denial of a Tory Cabinet member!!

So you've never been out drinking when Wales are playing rugby?

Of course I have. Still not seen any trouble though. I know that there must have been issues that have occurred in a crowd that size but to suggest that there is more trouble at Wales International days than at football requires the blinkered vision of Oliver Dowden.

Compare and contrast for Christ’s sake. This is like Bojo the Clown accusing Keir Starmer of breaking lock down rules after hosting 15 parties!

It's a fact that the busiest times for South Wales Police is if Wales lose, domestic violence shoots through the roof.
For the police occifers on here, please correct me if I am wrong.

There was an article about cocaine and football fans this weekend posted on the Football Only board.
I have been told it's not just an issue for the 11 man game.
Aren't proper searches done anymore then?

Run on a pitch in front of 60k fans when pìssed and see how you get on?
Imbecile

Happy to enlighten you
