Stop Rugby Pyrotechnics!

World Rugby needs to reign in the use of pyrotechics at rugby matches, particularly the use of jets of flame/flamethrowers. 

Why is this important?

These were initially used only when teams came onto the pitch but are increasingly used every time points are scored. 

Every use pollutes the air, adding to climate change, and can't be good for fans - and especially players - breathing in the smoke.

We should be doing all we can to reduce the use of fossil fuels, and this is just one example where they are needlessly escalating, damaging health and the climate.
