I can't think of another sporting legend since Bobby Moore ,that deserves his retirement and along with the countrys best wishes.
This man will always be remembered .

I'm sorry but I've never heard of him before! Had to do a google search to find out he was a rugby player.

Thats more of a compliment than you probably realise. A true professional, all round good bloke (you only got a smack if you deserved it) and the best captain England ever had.

A great shame, particularly as I'd hoped the Lions Tour would be his swansong although his testimonial game will be good wih Lomu back.

Must admit I was hoping he'd hold out long enough to lead them out

As has been said already, a truly great man. The dignified way in which he carried himself as the medals were hurled at his team in Sydney told you all you needed to know about the man
