Butch James retire from Test rugby


Veteran Springbok flyhalf Butch James has retired from Test rugby at the age of 33 - saying he's not getting any younger and he knows its the right decision to make.

James is the most capped Springbok flyhalf, having played 37 of his 42 Tests for South Africa in the Number ten jersey.

He was a member of Jake White's 2007 World Cup winning team and his last Test for the Springboks was at last year's Rugby World Cup as a replacement against Wales.

He says he's got a year, maybe two left, and wants to give 100% and enjoy the game.
