Rugby's Retired XV of 2024!

Legends

Fantastic concept. Love it.

Unlucky to miss out:
Micheal Hooper (Should easily be in this team)
Sam Cane

Another honourable mention, Harry Simmons of Leicester.

Now that's a BaaBaas team I'd pay good money to watch!

Logovi mulipola could have been mentioned to

Rory Kockott, that little ruck gobblin also retired (hopefully for good this time), one of my favorite.

I still have nightmares about Alberts playing for SA against England 😢

you have to feel for Polledri
stepped down from international rugby way too early

Duane Vermulen

Cant help but think of Authur "two sheds" when Billy twelvetrees is mentioned

Lots of Cardiff players here, Andy. 😉

Thanks for mentioning Guy Porter. He was so close to going to the World Cup. What a player.

Top quality footage of some great players - thanks Andy 👊

Such great names

Nemani nadolo aswell

Brilliant vid thanks. Maybe i missed them but didnt see Creevy nor Gopperth. Surely they are not going again?? 😂

Few things as brutal as a Jonathan Davies hand off!

Some proper "what could have been" in there

Cipriani will go down in the hall of fame

Great video. Easy to forget how talented Cipriani was.

Marler and Whitelock are among my all time favourite players so I will miss these two the most.
On the other hand, knowing how Polledri's career was cut short, I really feel for him and I hope his leg will heal eventually.
All the best to every one of these great players in their next chapters!

Cornal Hendricks very close to making this list
Retired basically from pro rugby and now playing in 2nd Division of Currie Cup for Border (his first ever club to finish where he started)

Minozzi announced his retirement after rescinding with Benetton but came back and now plays with Petrarca Padova in the Italian top flight

Guy Porter’s retirement is such a shame, younger man forced to retire due to injury who didn’t get to see enough time in an England jersey

Cool video idea, love the selection. Particularly M. Juan Imhoff who's a classy player, he will be missed !

Real shame Morahan couldn't finish his career at Bristol. What a class player he was for us!

Josh Bekhuis bruv Boks dont count g

Sad to see young lads on this list. Ellis Jenkins and Polledri are fantastic players

Gareth Davies?

I think you could have added Dan carter, Brian o’drisscol and Johnny sexton

This has to be a joke…. Video was clearly made by someone in the northern hemisphere. The lack on NZ and SA is sad - could make a team purely based on retired players from the southern hemisphere that would absolutely smoke these muppets

Ruan Pienaar should be a shoe in for this team at 9. What a sensational player he was! Watched him from his early years at the Sharks, and what a majestic runner he was with ball in hand. Can't believe he played for so long!
