RTÉ Rugby Podcast · Will the Nations Championship prove to be a success? Philip Doyle RIP · 30 Jun 2026 podcast

if if the rugby equivalent can get up to those levels in terms of success i think it'll be doing a pretty decent job well i think so i think having that competitiveness whenever teams go away especially in these types of tours it's usually when they go away you're up against the same team for three weeks in a row um whereas this actually generally gives you got to go score points you got to

You know, stop teams scoring points.

I think it's got a really nice structure.

I kind of agree with Bert.

Everyone's kind of taken stock a little bit, had a bit of a breath after a season.

There's a Football World Cup going on at the minute as well.

So I think actually there's a lot going on.

But like you said, I think once that first game kicks off there against Australia this week, you'll see the team, you'll get a feel for it.

You'll start maybe potentially seeing new caps getting in there once the teams are selected.

And there'll just be an energy around the competition.

I think actually the competition is really good for this time of the year as well to be going down to, you know, having those boys going off on tour with something tangible.

They were obviously, a lot of them were away in the Lions last year as well.

So it's been a long, long season for them.

But to have something, three weeks of, you know, something to go after, which sets them up for a competition when they come back into, you know,

That international window again in November, I think it's really, really exciting.

And I think it almost feels like a trial period a little bit prior to the World Cup, just to make sure to see if this works.

But I think going forward, once the World Cup's over in a year's time, it's something that you can definitely, I think, will be a good structure going forward.

I think also the structure as well of it allows for what a World Cup would look like.

Obviously, when you go away on tour, if you're on New Zealand, you're playing them three weeks in a row.

Whereas here, you've got to prep, you've got to get organised.
