There's a paragraph near the end about a proposal to give alternative fixtures for England and France during the 6 nations. Not entirely sure what that means, and never heard the proposal. Anyone know?

Interesting comment under the article that pitches are now too narrow for the increased intensity of the modern game, increasing collisions. There may be something in that.

True but for Quins' sake let's hope that doesn't bring about changes. Where am I going to walk with my pint and get told off by the stewards if the pitch is made wider?

Well, drop the number 13 and have a team of 14!

Someone near me was saying we have one of the narrowest pitches in the league. Seems a bit odd given we are supposedly a team who loves to chuck the ball around and they could definitely use some of the space in front of the east stand

I believe Tigers have the narrowest pitch in the league.

Tigers have the shortest pitch. That's why they didn't get to host any of the 2015 world cup matches. In fact the laws were sharpened ahead of the last world cup to make sure that a pitch so short couldn't (again) be used for world cup matches. Tigger was not pleased.
Law 1.2.d

Tigers stretched their pitch last season - that was why they had a bald in goal for most of the season as the grass failed to take on the new section.

We had the narrowest pitch in the world a few years ago against Sale. Scared of Hanley and Cueto. How embarrassing did that turn out to be!

Is that when they put about 40 points on us? Not our greatest hour

Yes, and I believe both of them, at least once each, came inside and ran straight through our defence down the middle of the pitch to score.

Aly Eykyn has just tweeted that due to a lack of bodies (not clear which side) Quins are training with L-Irish at Surrey Sports Park today. Not good!

Would it not be wise to give everyone time off to fully recover? Of course it may well be non-contact training.
Haskell saying some interesting stuff this week (no, really) about how he reckons the data collected from games and training isn't used very well, and that some coaches just carry on with the regular training sessions because they think they have to, and are scared of being the first to stop, not necessarily because they are gaining much from them.
I seem to recall that Sarries have a pretty light training load during the week.
Perhaps they could hook the players up to electric shock things, make them re-watch the matches, and for every brainless penalty they gave away, give them a zap.
