Rugby legend Donncha O’Callaghan isn’t afraid to get his hands dirty on the pitch but the Cork native is a bit of a princess when it comes to family holidays. Speaking to RSVP, Donncha confessed he can be a bit high-maintenance about accommodation and isn’t the biggest fan of camping holidays for that reason. “We’ve gone camping. Everyone loved it, bar me, of course,” the broadcaster admitted. “Jenny said she looked over at me at four in the morning and she could see the flash on my phone and she said, ‘Are you alright Donners?’ I was like, ‘Do you know there’s a hotel only 300 metres from here?’”. Despite his unease about not having all of the modern-day comforts that come with a fancy hotel, Donncha said his four children made memories to last a lifetime, which is what it’s all about. “You do stuff for your kids, don’t you? We went to France and our kids came home with Tipperary accents. There were so many people from Tipp there that they were spending time with, playing soccer and between kids clubs, they all came back saying, ‘well boy’. “I’m used to being so selfish being in a rugby environment. Now I finally realise it’s actually not about me. Once my kids have a good time, I shut up and suck it up and stay in the tent and enjoy it. They will have memories they’ll remember forever. So you want to at least buy into it being a bit of fun and not be such a diva”. As for their family holiday plans this summer, Donncha said the O’Callaghan’s love to travel to Spain, but when the weather is good in Ireland, there’s no place they’d rather be. “Where else would you want to be? It could be very dangerous in time if this good weather keeps up because we’ve got everything. People that are good craic, you don’t have to pack up all the stuff and deal with airports. “But we definitely will get away for a bit at some stage. We tend to go to Spain. We just love holidaying over there. I think they’ve nailed family really well. The best example I can give, we went out for dinner on the first night in Spain, and a load of kids started calling my little girl Robin over to play soccer with them. Then within two minutes the ball had hit the table and knocked loads of glasses and wine. The waiter just throws back the ball and drops down a few more bottles and everyone just gets on with it. They embrace chaos, that’s for me”. You can read Donncha’s interview in full in the brand new July issue of RSVP Magazine, out now
