Pitch size is more important than a flat pitch in my view. A full size playing field can be 144 metres - 100m in play (22-28-22-28) and 44m in goal (2*22) plus 70m wide - a playing area of just over 2 acres (about 30 houses). Google earth will reveal all but I'm certain that Twickenham doesn't have a full size in goal area.

Cambridge has just replaced two slightly undersized pitches, the one used by the women and thirds and one hardly used, with one "full-size" pitch. This means they have a longer pitch, and it can be used as an alternative to the main pitch in case of a medical emergency meaning play needs to be moved. However, while each have decent in-goals, neither are the full 22m. The 2023 revision of the laws introduced minimum sizes for pitches. Previously, those have been in the playing conditions for the various leagues. |
