Rouse forced to retirepublished at 12:41
Another retirement. This time London Irish second row Nic Rouse is forced to retire from professional rugby because of a shoulder injury.
The 35-year-old has made 40 appearances for the club since joining from Nottingham in 2013.
"I'm very disappointed to have to call time on my playing career," Rouse says. "London Irish is a club that is very close to my heart."
