Rejoice Englanders!

[Feicarsinn]

Prop Matt Stevens has ended his England career.
The 29-year-old Saracens player won 44 caps for his country and appeared in both the 2007 and 2011 World Cups.
But with a young family to look after, he feels he will not be able to commit through to the 2015 World Cup, which will be held in England.

22 man squads always do favour half-arsed "both side" props instead of good side-specific anchors.
