Sad day when a player is forced to give up on the game due to injury. Wish him all the best in his future projects

Conor O'Loughlin, Conor McInerney, Ian Dowling, Trevor Hogan, Ronan McCormack, John Fogarty, Bryn Cunningham and David Pollock have all been forced to retire this season and that's just Irish players. There's a major problem with too much rugby being played. The sooner it's addressed, the better.
