@mn5 Actually Kahui is a good one for leaving too soon. Although, he had an impressive list of achievements for his short career.
Yep good call. Hard to break up that Nonu/Smith partnership though.
I thought he left more due to the fact he was basically broken (shoulders I think) so went to easy rugby in Japan?

@bones The article was about players ending their career early. That's how I read the subject. My bad.
I'm not sure that you really need to police thread topics anyway. The fern ebbs and flows, in and out, deep breaths when things go astray (and stay away from the "off topic" forum that will do your head in).
Fucken @Bones always jumps in and gets triggered. I for one am sick of it.
No, please, tell us more about your wedding guest list.

Absolutely.
No discussion of hot chicks or pictures of breasts. (Sorry- wrong TSF forum).@Bovidae Yeah Henin was 28ish for her second retirement (was due to injury).
Yao Ming was 30 maybe 31 (injury related as well)Not quite sure what the criteria is for too young? Before 30?

@mariner4life are you on holiday? I feel like you've been hitting the turps a lot lately.
But yes, RIP. Can't believe Hansen got away with murder.

@gunner shit actually, think I've got the wrong guy, or wrong spelling. Ex lock/6 for the canes, had a cracking season just as he signed overseas and was mentioned as being on the cusp of AB selection.
Michael?
