Dan Leavy to retire immediately

[Pieter Steph du Teague]

Massive massive shame. Was arguably the best 7 on the planet during Ireland and Leinster’s 2017/18 season. Gutted that he never got to put on a Lions jersey as I’d have loved to be able to cheer for him for once.

 

[Whore of Shame]

Sad. Nothing else to say!

 

[Groundhog]

Terrible news. I would say the writing has been on the wall for him personally (he launched a whiskey brand recently, so I'd say he's been prepping for life after rugby) for a while, but sad to see such a ridiculously talented player not get to have the career he deserves.

 

[Welsh Exile]

Man, this is a really sad loss to the game. Class player and no doubt would’ve gone on to achieve a lot had his career not been cut short.

As Groundhog says had been rumoured for a while with the whiskey business launch and lack of playing time. Such a pity, someone who should have been a 100 cap international and in the mix for World Player of the year but always had injury issues and then had a horror injury off an illegal clear out.

The fact he even got back was incredible in its own right. At least the one season he was properly fit and firing he won everything in sight.

 

[SRW1525]

Very sad news.

 

[Bada-Bing!]

Goes back to that Croc roll. This is what it leads to. Ban them.
