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

This is from Stephen, who we were chatting to in Stephen's Green this morning.

And then even for fans, is there just too much rugby to watch nowadays?

Yeah, I think that's pretty much the main point.

If sport is becoming a full year thing, we just need to make sure that it's becoming a full year thing in a way that is not detrimental to players' health.

If the players are safe and if they're enjoying and happy, then I guess the rest of us can enjoy it and be happy too.

I thought it was interesting when he said, I wouldn't let my kid do it.

I think that's a funny quote because...

I probably wouldn't let my kid do it either.

I wouldn't want my kid doing that much rugby, would you?

It's a lot of physical action for a really long time of the year.

And I think, you know, you have safeguards now put in place in terms of tackling and rugby for kids.

Young kids playing football are not allowed now to head the ball until a certain age just because we know now the consequences of stuff like that.

So we're definitely entering into a new era, I think, of sports.

We've seen it happen in the last few years.

It's going to only continue.

But before we leave today, we want kind of our Braeburn hot take.

We want the word in the studio.

So we've had a 40-minute discussion about all of this, Verona.

Have you made up your mind?

Do you think that the Nations Championship is something that is a net positive for rugby?
