Great news for him. Nice pay day in the south French sun. He deserves it.

Stuart Hogg retired from all rugby with immediate effect.

There were rumours last week that Townsend told him not to bother coming back into camp after he'd been on a 3-day bender. Seems maybe they were true.

Fascinating, but quite sad. What exactly has gone wrong?

 

[Vieux Talonneur]

The public version is that he can't get to the fitness levels he wants. Who knows whether that's the whole story or not.

But if he has gone on a bender it's in the genes. His granny's granny was the sister of George Best's great grandfather.

Either way it's a bit sad how his career has petered out.

Rhys Patchell has signed for Highlanders,

and bigger news: Frans Steyn has retired!
He's had some career, tbf - probably the first player I think of when I think of the 2007 world cup/that era of Canterbury shirts. Biggest boot I've ever seen

Young Frans Steyn with the longer hair was some player. Was prob my fav player
Feel the move to France didn't work out best for him in terms of conditioning

Sexton is only one I know off top my head.

Apparently Currie cup was his last go.

Fun fact, he beat Andy Farrell in his first RWC final, and Owen Farrell in his 2nd RWC final

Won't take Jarrod Evans long to relegate him to the bench.
