Former Ireland full-back Rob Kearney has announced he will retire after Saturday’s game for the Barbarians against Samoa.
Kearney, 35, tweeted that the match at Twickenham will be his “last game of rugby”.
The two-time Lions tourist won four Six Nations titles, including Grand Slams in 2009 and 2018. At club level, he helped Leinster to six Pro14 titles, four European Champions Cups and one European Challenge Cup.
Kearney wrote on social media: “It’s always been a dream to play for the @Barbarian_FC and what a historic team to play your last game of rugby with, grateful for the opportunity!”
