Wales rugby fans turned away after failing breathalysers as WRU insist stadium issues reflect society

The Welsh Rugby Union have played down reports of poor fan behaviour and a lack of atmosphere at the Principality Stadium, insisting they do all they can to promote a positive environment.

After the heavy defeat to New Zealand, several fans came forward with complaints over their experience during the match against the All Blacks, whether that was beers being spilt or just the general atmosphere for the visit of Ian Foster's side. Former Wales centre John Devereux described the scene in the crowds as “dead and dreadful”.

An 80-year-old bystander was also injured following an alleged altercation that took place between two other men at the Principality Stadium in Cardiff. The 80-year-old man was taken to hospital for treatment.
