Firefighting prop Scoble to play last Wales game

Firefighting Wales prop Jenni Scoble will retire from international rugby after the fixture against Barbarians at Allianz Stadium on Saturday.

The 33-year-old will make one last outing for her country in the double-header in Twickenham, with the women's game taking place at 17:00 BST after the men play at 14:00 BST.

Scoble will continue to play for Gwalia Lightning in the Celtic Challenge but has opted to retire from international rugby to focus on her job as a firefighter.

"This has been an incredibly tough decision to make and is one I have thought long and hard about," said Scoble.

"Playing for Wales and being part of the squad has meant everything to me but combining my role as an international rugby player with my career in the Fire Service has been a really delicate and tough balance.

"I have prided myself on my ability to give the best of myself to my rugby career and my fire service career, but the demands now mean I feel I cannot do that."
