Paul to opt out of World Cup Wallabies

The Wallabies’ most-capped hooker Jeremy Paul has sent a shockwave through Australian rugby by announcing he is considering quitting the international scene before next year’s World Cup in France.

Paul, who has played in two World Cup campaigns, surpassed Phil Kearns as Australia’s most experienced rake this year (72 caps) and led the Wallabies throughout this year’s international campaign.
