Former Fiji captain fails to overcome knee injury
Former Fiji captain Mosese Rauluni has announced his retirement from rugby after failing to recover from a knee injury.
The talented scrum-half, who was capped 45 times and appeared at three World Cup finals, will now taken on a coaching role with Saracens.
And Rauluni, who also represented the Pacific Islanders, admitted it was a hard to make the decision to quit.
"Sadly my career has come to an end prematurely," Rauluni told the
Fiji Times.
"I have had a nagging problem with my knee and unfortunately it has got the better of me, and from good advice from medical staff at Saracens and my surgeon they thought it better I retire so more damage is not done to it.
"I thought I could maybe play another season here but after the scans and advice had to cut it short earlier.
"These things happen and it was quite gut wrenching to give up on a sport I dearly love."
Rauluni will now work with Kevin Sorrell, who announced his decision to quit at the end of the season, coaching the Saracens academy.
