OTB Rugby · WOTS: Is There Such Thing As Too Much Rugby? | Fan fatigue vs player fatigue | Episode 58 · 16 Jul 2026 podcast

So I don't know if I've seen other examples of that.

I would look at players maybe in the Ireland squad like Tyburn, who played a lot in that Lions tour last year and have been such a key...

A player for their club, him down at Munster, there was a run of games there.

I don't want to put a number on it, but there was a good few weeks where he was playing 80 minutes after 80 minutes after 80 minutes.

You're like, oh my God, this guy's... And he's switching between positions as well.

And he's captain on the side.

You're like, this has to be taking a toll on him.

Yeah, that was a conversation then in South Africa as well.

that they would pull their South African teams out of the Champions Cup because there was just too much going on and the schedule is essentially 12 months for some players.

Now again, their player pool is massive and Razzy Erasmus and his coaching team there have done an absolutely amazing job at being able to rotate that team and you watched them play last weekend.

I'm forgotten now.

But whoever they played, they played a third team, essentially.

And you wouldn't know.

If you were a casual rugby fan, you knew about the Springboks and being this big entity and this, you know, the World Cup favourite again to go back to back to back.

You think, yeah, that looks about right.

They're pretty dominant in this game.

It was Scotland, sorry.

I just remembered.

Scotland, yeah.

And they beat them well.
