Shocked reaction as Munster’s Felix Jones forced into 'unthinkable' retirement

"That feeling of walking out the tunnel in front of a packed Thomond Park is something I will never forget. To accept I will not play with my teammates again is beyond upsetting."

Munster Rugby and the IRFU have announced that Felix Jones is to retire from rugby on medical grounds.

They said: “Having most recently sustained a neck injury during the round 3 PRO12 encounter against Glasgow Warriors in Thomond Park Felix Jones has been advised to retire from rugby.”
