Percy calls it a day

After becoming the first South Africa international to receive 100 caps, Percy Montgomery has decided to retire from International rugby.

The 34-year-old played a major role in helping the Springboks lift the World Cup in France and has made 102 test appearances for the country, wracking up 893 points.

He commented, “I have had many memorable moments in a Springbok jersey and it has been a privilege to play for my country and to go around the world playing against so many great players of other countries. There have been plenty of highs and lows in my career, and it’s been an honour to wear the Springbok jersey. But it is time to go.”
