Scottish scrum-half Blair calls time on international career

Former Scotland captain Mike Blair has retired from international rugby at the age of 31.

Scotland’s most-capped scrum-half has represented his country on 85 occasions, 14 of them as captain.

In a statement released by the Scottish Rugby Union, Blair said: “I’m in the very fortunate position of being able to decide myself when my international career ends. For me, that time is now.”
