England forward Joe Worsley retires due to neck injury
Wasps and England back-row forward Joe Worsley has retired at the age of 34 due to a neck injury.
Worsley, who played over 300 times for Wasps, won 78 England caps and received an MBE after their 2003 World Cup win.
The former Barbarians and British and Irish Lions player said: "Last season I suffered an injury to my neck that has effectively ended my career.
"Re-starting contact work during the England World Cup camp made it obvious that I could not continue."
Commenting on his career he said: "My life as a rugby player started at Welwyn under-nines and finished in an England training session - I want to say thanks to everyone who helped me on that path. I'm proud of what I achieved and how I played the game."
