Great to see a retiring Irish player with some medals to tell his grand kids about. Sorry to hear he had to leave the game a little early but he should be more than proud of his achievements.
From what I’ve seen of him as a pundit (articulate as well as a great knowledge of the game) it looks like we might be seeing him on our screens for a few years to come.
