So it might be a little bit shorter, cos we'll want an area to score tries in, but game on - nice wide pitch for free-flowing Rugby! Can't wait!

The DV pitch isn't 100m long. Look at the distance between the 40 and 20 lines.

Never said the DV pitch was 100m.

I meant the BL pitch will be shorter than the 102.4m because we'll need 3-4m each end reducing it to about 94m long.

DV is definitely shorter and narrower so it can fit in the running track.

Max dimensions for an RL pitch are 100m from goal line to goal line and 60m from touch line to touch line.

No the max width is 68m. Used to be 75 yards.

According to the RFL Official Guide, the dimensions are

Bramall Lane Length 88m Width 66m Ingoal 6m

Don Valley Length 90m Width 64.35m Ingoal 5.55m

Minimum depth of the in-goals is 6m so make of that what you will.

What else do you want to know ?

40/20s galore then!

There are better pitches for 40/20s.
