(FASTNEWS|COLOMBO) – British and Irish Lions captain Sam Warburton has shocked the world of rugby, retiring from the game at the age of just 29.
The Welshman, who won 74 Wales and five Lions caps, led his country to Grand Slam and Six Nations glory and will be regarded as one of the best Welsh players in history.
His last match was the Lions’ historic Test draw against New Zealand in June 2017, after which he underwent neck and knee surgery.
