Drunk Wales fan vomits on six-year-old boy

Officials admit to concerns about levels of drunkenness, making
alcohol bans a future possibility

It was Wales yes, but it could have been Twickenham. I didn't
see anyone out their head either for the SA match or, where I
was expecting it, the Australia match given the kick off was
later.
I'd hate to see an alcohol ban in the stadium. We've only
recently , it seems, stopped shutting the bars with 20 minutes
to go. I admit I enjoy a pint with my rugby. My brother and I
sank one at the Prince Blucher, a Guinness when we got to the
game and a pint during half time and that was it. I'd be annoyed
if I end up paying for some idiot who, to use my father's
phrase, "can't calibrate his capacity".

My experience is that it’s way worse at the Principality than
anywhere else I’ve been to. A few pint spillers is the worst
I’ve encountered elsewhere in the seats whereas in Cardiff it
seemed that half the crowd were solely there for an evening out.

Its an unfortunate thing to experience for sure, but its not
"the norm". At Twickenham I've not seen anything like that, so
to penalise everyone else with alcohol limits would be unfair.
However that said, the booze-ometer goes up when its the 7s or
Navy, as then it seems to be a massive **** up with the
occasional glance to watch something on the field. I would wager
a lot of the attendees of those two particular games are
probably not "regular" rugby followers if that makes sense. I've
often seen friends tagged at the 7s on facebook and they have
never had any interest in rugby but its almost seen as an
extension to freshers week

Have to agree unfortunately, I've not been to an international
there but used to go to the Judgement Day double headers with my
young son and you were constantly standing up to let people get
to the bar. It got very messy towards the end, no-one was
watching the rugby (which wasn't great tbh but that's not the
point) and I've stopped going.

I am not defending it but the headline makes it sound as though
it was intentional and a six year old casualty makes it sound
worse. Mind you I wouldn't want anyone to be vomited on.... I
wonder what the Welsh fan identified as in our Woke climate ::)
I've seen people vomit for a number of reasons - though with
this incident it was most likely caused by alcohol or alcohol
and greasy food. Maybe a reflection on Brains Beer or an average
Welsh performance???
In mitigation for the Cardiff match attendees (mlud) I don't
think that its confined just to Cardiff as Richmond, Twickenham,
Teddington and surrounds are often littered with vomit pools on
a Saturday and/or Sunday morning. As well as any self respecting
University town.
