'Sometimes things don't turn out the way we hope for': Bryan Habana to retire

"The inevitable moment has come knocking on my door and I've welcomed it in for a drink."

South Africa great Bryan Habana is to retire at the end of the season after being unable to force his way back into the Toulon team.

Habana underwent surgery to repair a long-standing knee injury last year but since recovering has found his path back into the starting XV blocked by the likes of Chris Ashton and Josua Tuisova.
