[QUOTE="Groundhog, post: 1039744, member: 50079"] Knew what was coming, exactly? Firstly he's still in Ireland and will probably stay here until a Lions selection is completely off the cards. He wasn't in contract after this year, which is readily available information. He would be entitled to a tax break for retiring in Ireland, but not if he then comes out of retirement, and certainly not if he finishes his playing career in South Africa. He won't earn nearly as much money playing in SA as he would in Ireland as an international or in France, so no financial incentives there. He retired from all forms of rugby, because he presumably at the very least wants to take a break from the game and consider what he wants to do next. He finished out his contract, owes literally nobody a thing and can do what he wants with the remainder of his years in the game, whether that be coaching, playing or putting paint on the field.
