England's Ben Earl has expressed concerns over the Nations Championship format, citing the team's grueling schedule as 'brutal' after completing a 25,000-mile tour with three consecutive Tests in different continents. The team, led by Steve Borthwick, concluded their July tour with a win over Argentina, despite facing significant travel fatigue and limited training due to the demanding itinerary. The schedule, which included four long-haul and four short-haul flights in under four weeks, has been particularly challenging for players like Earl, Ellis Genge, and Ollie Chessum, who participated in the British and Irish Lions tour last summer. Earl suggested that hosting the tournament in a single country could alleviate travel burdens and create a 'festival feel.' He acknowledged that the decision is not his to make, but noted that the schedule has been tough, especially after a long season, and that the team will have to adapt to the demands of the new format.
