[QUOTE="Darwin, post: 667167, member: 24910"] Retiring is really the only choice he has. Playing a few more seasons of rugby (and perhaps a few more test matches) isn't worth the risk of spending the rest of your life in a wheelchair. I've always been a fan of McCabe. He isn't the most creative player, but I feel he was unfairly made a scapegoat for the Wallabies poor performances c. 2011/2012. He is a rock solid defender in the midfield, and when not used solely as the battering ram can actually be quite effective on attack (as he runs great lines). He was critical in the Wallabies quarterfinal victory over South Africa at the last World Cup - he just kept smashing the South African ball runners back time and time again (despite a shoulder injury).
