Shame, he became a really terrific hooker towards the end of his time. Disappointed we never got to see more of what he could actually do.

Known as 'the faceplant' to me as that is what you were guaranteed before he hit the defensive line! Actually had a little drinking game at the Wales home games thanks to him.

Big shame for Wales we had two very good hookers in Hibbard and Bennett.

Was sad to hear this news, Bennett grew into a fantastic hooker with a great all-round game. Wasn't too long ago he was the number 1 hooker in Wales - his form in the world cup was outstanding. Good luck to him in whatever he decides to do next.
