Devin Toner has revealed that he turned down the chance to bring the curtain down on his long and illustrious career with a stint in the Top 14.

Last month the towering second row announced that he will be retiring from rugby at the end of this season after a glittering run of over 15 years in the professional game with club and country. He is 35 now, but that’s not necessarily old for a lock.
