Title: Lee Halfpenny retires from international rugby.
Post by: Wowbagger on 25 October, 2023, 10:23:48 pm

He has been a great player for a long time, but to be honest I was a bit surprised to see him still playing. His international debut was in 2008.

I hope they'll be very happy together.

*Leigh

Fine player. Fast, strong, technically gifted. And he could really hoof the ball when he wanted to. I too am surprised he was still playing.
