Will Genia, one of the most decorated players in Australian rugby history, has announced his retirement at the age of 37.
The scrum-half, who became the 78th player to captain the Wallabies, represented Australia at three World Cups.
He appeared 110 times for his country over a 10-year international career, making him the seventh-most capped Wallaby of all-time.
“Thank you to the teams, my team-mates, coaches, teachers, friends and all the wonderful people in the game who helped me, guided me, shaped me, included me, put up with me and made me better,” Genia wrote on Instagram.
“Thank you to the fans for making the game what it is.
“Finally – thank you rugby for all the joy. It was always the game and then everything else.”
