    Twickenham 2012

    Did a stadium tour at Twickenham today and was blown away by how fabulous it looks compared to the last time I saw it in the late 90s!

    They are just finishing laying the new £2million pitch!! It's using the latest in sports turf technology and involves sewing manmade fibres in with the grass!! Just incredible..

    Going to have to save up to come back here for the 2015 RWC - will be amazing to be at Twickenham for that!!

    Impressive technology but whoa - AUS$111 million spent on turf.. Interesting to reading the forum comments attached to the article - same arguments as to we have with the funding by the ARU - cronyism, lack of investment at grass roots level etc..
