Matt Giteau has announced he is retiring aged 40 after a career in which he won 103 caps, but he may be remembered more for 'Giteau's Law' which was key to the Wallabies reaching the 2015 Rugby World Cup final.

Giteau was at the time enjoying a stellar spell with French club Toulon but with the national side's fortunes at a low ebb then-Australia head coach Michael Cheika argued they must change their ban on selecting players who played abroad.
