England's Care retires from international rugby

England and Harlequins scrum-half Danny Care has announced his retirement from international rugby.

Care, who has a record 369 Harlequins appearances, said: "To play for England once was a dream come true.

"Never in my wildest dreams did I think I'd get the opportunity to do it over 100 times."

Care added: "After a lot of reflection the past few months the time feels right, for myself and the team, to retire from international rugby.

"The past 12 months in this England team have been arguably my favourite, making memories that my family and I will cherish and remember forever."

Care made his England debut at the age of 21 when he was brought on during a 37-20 defeat by New Zealand in June 2008.

He helped England achieve the Six Nations Grand Slam in 2016, in addition to winning titles in 2011 and 2017.
