Five small changes that would make rugby immediately better

They're good, fantastic in fact. However, whenever just fans and players sing an anthem on their own it feels a lot more epic. Listen to this example of Wales singing their anthem as evidence enough...

Very easy to police, very easy to see, but so often missed. Be harsh, cut it out, penalise the guilty parties and nip it in the bud. Once and for all, please.

Many fans have to pay ridiculous amounts just to see their team in action for 80 minutes, added to the extra costs of stadium food and drink as well as programmes.

I am not a monster trying to impose prohibition on match days when they return, but this is still an issue.

Alcohol has a long, glorious association with rugby. But at times, that relationship seems to have tilted too far away from the sport itself.

Whenever I attend internationals (not club matches), whole rows seem to be constantly going up and down with people either heading to the bar or unable to hold their bladder.

Not only is that spoiling the enjoyment for everyone having to stand up, but it is disrespecting the players' efforts on the pitch.

At the theatre, people are not allowed back in to the performance until the interval. A similar rule should be introduced in the Six Nations.

Let's open the Six Nations up and get Georgia or Romania involved. Italy have had enough time to become genuine contenders and they simply haven't done it. Italy lose every week and don't play particularly entertaining rugby. Do the same with The Rugby Championship to let the Pacific Islands have a chance.
