Craig Newby has retired from rugby with immediate effect. I know a lot of us thought this would be the case given his recent knee injury, but had hoped he'd make a return for one more season.

Such a shame. A magnificent player, and servant to the game.

Aye, no real surprise. An old style rugby player, he pushed his body beyond what it was capabale of. His perfomance on one leg in the semi last year against Saracens was amazing.

I wish him well in his future endeavours.

Hell of a memory to retire on and leave with the fans. I'll never forget that.
