Gareth Davies calls time on Test career

Wales scrum-half Gareth Davies, 34, has announced his retirement from international rugby. The Scarlets half-back won 77 Wales caps and toured twice with the Lions.

He helped Wales win a Grand Slam in 2019 and the title in 2021 and scored a memorable winning try against England at Twickenham in the 2015 World Cup group stage.

Warren Gatland will name his squad for the nation’s 2024 home autumn Tests against Fiji, Australia and South Africa tomorrow.

Davies said on social media: “I’ve decided that, after 10 incredible years playing for Wales, I am retiring from international rugby.

“It was my childhood dream to represent my country and I have loved every moment in a Wales jersey.

“From winning my first cap on the summer tour back in 2014, to playing in three Rugby World Cups, winning a Six Nations championship and a Grand Slam… it really has been special.

“Thank you to my family, my wife Katy, my friends and all the fans for their support over the past decade.”
