Time to move on for former skipper

Veteran France lock Fabien Pelous, the second most capped player in history, has retired from international rugby. The Toulouse forward won 118 caps for Les Bleus and captained his country on 42 occasions. He also played in four Grand Slam-winning sides in the Five and Six Nations after making his debut in 1995. The 33-year-old Pelous, who will continue to play for his club until the end of the season, said: "I experienced some wonderful moments but it's time to move on."
