A legend of the sport has hung up his boots as tributes pour in πŸ‡¦πŸ‡ΊπŸ¦˜

The former Wallabies captain Michael Hooper has this morning taken to his social media to announce his retirement from International Rugby.

The 33 year old was an absolutely warrior for the Wallabies and was badly treated by former coach Eddie Jones in not bringing him and others to the 2023 Rugby World Cup in France.

Congratulations on one hell of a shift. Humbled to have played with and against you from a young age all the way through. Will go down as one of the all time greats

I can’t believe the ride is over. From watching you at NSW under 12s, there was never any doubt you would achieve something special. What a privilege to be in the box seat to watch your story. Not many know the commitment and sacrifice you went through, never thinking of yourself, but for your teammates, team, club, and country. Congrats on everything Mik

Congrats Hoops!! One of the all time greats on and off the field!!
