[QUOTE="bushytop, post: 911765, member: 56738"] So, as shocking as it seems, Sam Warburton has just announced his retirement from the game at 29. As a rugby fan and Welsh man I’m pretty devastated to hear this news. He has had some detractors at a couple of points in his career and struggled for consistent prolonged periods of fitness but was a great player and captain. I know both the Blues and Wales seem to have an abundance of great backrow players at the moment, high quality 7’s in particular but a fully fit Sam would still be my first choice every time. I remember my old man stating back in 2015 that after the battering Gatland had asked of all three of our then consistently used back row (Warby, Lydiate and Faletau) that only Talupe might be around by the next World Cup and this kinda proves him right with Lydiate as far away from the squad as when he was tackling sheep on his farm as a kid. Again, just devastated to hear this. [/QUOTE]
