Apologies for not including Duane Vermeulen, I'd seen articles saying he was returning to the Stormers but obviously didn't read the fine print that it was as a coach! With regards to some of the other players, like Aaron Smith, Leigh Halfpenny, Justin Tipuric, Deon Fourie & more; they've only retired from international duty - they're still playing club rugby!

what about Charlie Faumuina? World Champion and 3x Top 14 and Champions Cup, must be better than Samson Lee?

Two players who shocked me after this video. Morgan Para and Francior Steyn. Wow they have been around for years. These boys have been in the centre of some huge games.

Excellent video as always. I can't remember a year where so many top players have retired at around the same time.

I'd put Deon Fourie as an honourable mention. But then you can't really rule out the potential of a phone call from Rassie a couple of months before the next RWC...🤣
