Beer festival or rugby match?

Madam, – I attended the Aviva stadium to watch a superb game of rugby last Saturday between Ireland and England. Having paid a substantial amount of money for the seats, I was really looking forward to the game of the season.

During the game I wondered if I was attending a beer festival or rugby match. The constant stream of beer-hugging supporters interrupted my viewing of the game. Should the IRFU take a leaf out of the GAA in Croke Park and ban all drinks except in the bars during games? – Yours, etc,
