More than 50 arrests were made at Twickenham stadium during rugby matches in the past five years, according to the Metropolitan Police.
A Freedom of Information (FOI) request revealed 57 arrests were made between January 2010 and October of this year.
A spike of 15 arrest each year was seen in 2010, 2012 and 2013, with only eight arrests in 2011.
So far this year, only four people had been arrested at the 82,000-capacity stadium.
Compared with neighbouring fooball clubs, rugby union fans would appear to be relatively mild-mannered.
Chelsea FC saw 56 fans arrested in the 2013/14 season alone, while Brentford FC had six fans arrested last season.
