Sir Clive Woodward says Twickenham is 'world's biggest pub' and urges England to follow Wales' lead on drink culture

Sir Clive Woodward has called for big changes to be made to rugby's drinking culture after claiming that Twickenham is now "the world's biggest pub".

The England World Cup-winning coach was left horrified by what he saw at the stadium during the Calcutta Cup match against Scotland, saying fans were "more concerned with drinking than rugby" as thousands spent long periods of the game queuing at the bar.

His comments mirror complaints that have been previously made about the match-day experience at the Principality Stadium, with fans getting up from their seats to head to the bar while Wales games are going on.
