After its first season at The Ricoh Arena, XtraGrass has proved a hit with both players and staff at Wasps RFC and is more than ready for another exhilarating season of sports.

“Its always a nice surface to play on, we can play good attacking rugby on it.”

Jake Cooper-Woolley, Wasps Prop

We visited The Ricoh for the last match of the season and filmed Wasps V London Irish to see for ourselves how the pitch had held up with dual sports plus a number of events that have taken place on it. We were very pleased with how it looked! Due to the strength and increased durability of XtraGrass it can withstand dual sports play as well as single sports providing a 100% natural grass feeling and a green looking pitch all year round!

“The pitch is very durable and very flexible, it’s a good, hard playing surface”

David Armstrong, Wasps Group CEO

“It suits our style of play, it’s a beautiful pitch”

Dan Baugh, Head of Strength & Conditioning, Wasps RFC

With XtraGrass already installed at a number of high profile venues including The Ricoh Arena, The Kassam Stadium and Vitesse (Netherlands) and installations taking place currently at The Lensbury Hotel and PSV, the hybrid pitch is proving itself to be an optimum playing surface in the world of professional sports.
