    Time being out of control of the ref! I hate the seemingly arbitrary way they decide how long is left or for injury time. Id like them to signal, 'game stopped' and 'game started' and thats it. Clock is there for all to see.

    Footballers stop acting like big fairies.

    Top players being more interested in the sport and the contest than their pay packets or profile.

    My thought as well. Bad enough refs are biased as * already. But imagine the first 20 mins on march the 12th, we would have 6 players booked right away. Playing with half a * team.

    Just generally how to behave properly. That's both for players and fans. Both are so much better when it comes to rugby. You don't get Anthony Stokes's in rugby and you don't get wee neds starting trouble either.

    It's funny really but Football is played by men(?) pretending to be hurt, & Rugby is played by men pretending not to be hurt.

    Video replays. Clock being stopped for injury stoppages in order to prevent blatant time wasting. Only the captains being able to talk with the referee. And the mics.

    I'm all for beer in the stands as well but I think some wouldn't be able to behave themselves and would ruin it for everyone.

    In German football it's actually pretty common for opposing fans to mingle in the areas that aren't occupied by ultras or fan groups. Surprised me a bit when I first went to a game over there.

    I went to a rugby World Cup game in 2015... Scotland v USA

    It all felt a bit weird... Not just the egg chasing bit on the field, but everyone carrying and consuming loads of beers all the way through. Strangest bit was the supporters all just mixed throughout the stadium. Very different to the tribal aspect of football. More family friendly and lots of polite rugger-boy banter among the support but just a bit alien to someone more used to clinging on white knuckled to the seat in front of him at Celtic Park.

    Nigel Owens is a *. He's getting too cocky with some of the recent publicity.

    Sorry have to disagree. Every ranking system as him as the best in the world. Players respect him & he certainly makes sure the players know who the boss is on the pitch. He does the business & shows a sense of humour at the same time.

    Don't have an issue with his job as a Rugby ref. However he's made some comments/slights at football which were unnecessary.
