Leinster back row and former Ireland international Rhys Ruddock is to retire from playing rugby at the end of the season.
Ruddock was called up to the Ireland squad as a 19-year-old on the summer tour to Australia in 2010 by then-coach Declan Kidney, making his debut against the Wallabies in Spain. With Leinster, he won six league titles, three Champions Cup crowns and a Challenge Cup in a distinguished career. "Supporting the Leinster team in Donnybrook as an eight-year-old, while my dad was coach, I could only have dreamed about putting on a Leinster jersey myself. To go on to play my whole career with this team has been a dream come true.
