Dean Lonergan: On why the new 'Runit Championship' isn't a healthy sport

  • Resumen

  • New Zealand Rugby has warned Kiwis of the significant risks linked to a new “run it straight” sport, which has rival participants run at each other with full force.

    “Run it straight” is touted as a new combat sport that attempts to mirror actions seen in rugby league, union and AFL matches.

    It features opposing individuals – a ball runner and a tackler – run full speed at each other with the goal of trying to bowl each other over.

    The Runit Championship League hosted its inaugural live tournament in Melbourne last night, and a similar event is set to come to New Zealand this month.

    Former Kiwi and boxing promoter Dean Lonergan joined D'Arcy Waldegrave to discuss concerns surrounding a new sport being introduced to New Zealand.
