[QUOTE="Reiser99, post: 999720, member: 72977"] Well the new domestic season won't be able to start in September and so they will already be a month behind. If they want to finish the season normally to try and prepare for the 21/22 season they will have to play games more often. On top now there seems to be a rather intense period of international matches and then as you said there is the regular six nations within 2 months. Further I believe there have been a slight increase in injuries in most sports where players are not ready for the intensity after such a long time off, even with training. Rugby is more intense physically than most sports, so players will be more at risk of injury. Overall it seems very risky to player welfare. [/QUOTE]
