Rugby star Simon Zebo has revealed that he doesn't want his children playing rugby, as he finds the head injuries scary.

The former Ireland and Munster player, who retired earlier this year, said he doesn’t want his children following in his footsteps.

He said: ‘I would not push them towards playing rugby at all. What it does to your body, the head impacts, that’s the scary side of it. I’ve seen a lot of players have to retire through it, and that’s very dangerous. I don’t like it.’

Is he right? How do you feel about your children playing rugby?

Andrea is joined by former Irish rugby player Shane Byrne, Eva Berg from the Secret Pilates and more to discuss.
