I didn't include the small print.

Any variations to these dimensions must be approved by the relevant union for domestic competitions or World Rugby for international matches.

Any pitch where the dead ball line is on the soccer goal line and the goal line is along the six yard box is not legal. Six yards being less than six metres.

Can the visiting captain object to the pitch on the grounds it does not comply with the laws?
Or could you object that not having a five-metre perimeter area makes it unsafe?

Yes
&
Yes

However the referee can resolve this and the match goes ahead.



    Objections to the ground

  1. Teams must inform the referee of any objections before the match starts.
  2. The referee will attempt to resolve the issues and will not start a match if any part of the ground is considered to be unsafe.

Thing is we are talking about established stadiums where all these issues are known beforehand. Is a team going to travel to a ground and suddenly say. "That in-goal area is only 5 metres so we're not prepared to play"

Soft padding was added to the sponsor boards in the Premiership 20 years ago at least.  It adds about 2 inches of foam at most.
