Injury forces Constable to retire

Ulster and former Wallaby centre Ryan Constable has decided to retire from rugby because of a shoulder injury and his business commitments.

He said: "The injury I sustained against the the Gwent Dragons means that there is now a structural defect in my shoulder and to continue playing rugby would mean surgery and a long rehabilitation period."

"Injury aside, I knew after pre-season this year that this would be my last season of playing rugby and I was keen to make the most of it."
