Isa Nacewa to retire

First topic message reminder :

Isa looks set to retire at the young age of 30. Not sure if this is an injury issue but the Irishtimes have written that he wants to return to New Zealand with his young family. Does injury have a role in this?

A great player for the club game, very expressive, very positive and outstandingly creative. He was capped for Fiji and thus never got to fulfill his dream of playing for the All Blacks and boycotted the International game by refusing continuous invitations to play by Fiji.

As a Leinster fan, he has been an amazing player and character for us. He shall be missed and I'm sure I speak for many here in wishing him the best, the very best and nothing but the best.

Schmidt is sitting down with Fitz this week. Hopefully all will be cleared up soon. I hope he stays.

This is not just a loss for Leinster, but a loss for the Rabbo as a whole, it a farcical how all the best Welsh players are going to England and France, and with Nacewa going it is another big time player leaving our league, I for one will not miss him putting the Welsh sides to the sword but I will miss his ability, I always enjoyed watching him play rugby, and this will hurt Leinster hugley as I do not think player of the caliber of Isa Necewa can be replaced, I cannot see any Celtic sides pulling up trees in Europe next year, but at least we can all still "try" and enjoy our league.

P.S all the best Isa Nacewa.
