Rochelle Clark to retire from internationals as England’s most capped

Tuesday, 31 July 2018 16:00

England’s most capped player of all time Rochelle Clark is to retire from international rugby.

The 37-year-old prop, who will continue to play for Wasps in the Tyrrells Premier 15s next season, was a World Cup winner in 2014 and won 137 caps during her 15-year England career.

She surpassed Jason Leonard's previous record of 114 in November 2016 and retires as the most capped female international player of all time.

She spoke to BBC Sport: "I've lived such a fairytale for the last 15 years. Getting my first cap was out of this world but to hit the cap record and surpass Jason Leonard, it's been a dream come true.

"There have been highs and lows but I've loved every minute of it."
