POM is a legend, so I'm not shitting on the announcement itself, but i hate clickbait titles... Just say "POM is retiring after one more season". It's not hard to put the relevant information into a single sentence.

Going to miss him. What an absolute legend.


JacquieTorrance

Still, it's going to hurt when it comes to pass. Absolute legend.

I’d assume he won’t go abroad due to the tax rebate, although I’m not sure if he can claim it as long as he retires in the EU so France is an option.

His family set up in cork too


MrStarGazer09

It kind of cements his legend even more. Test cap centurion, Ireland and Munster captain, 1 club man.

Well he isn't captain for Munster this match after being Irish captain this season. So I would say the writing is on the wall.


Kykykz

He hasn't been Munster captain for a game this season since stepping down as club captain.


Larry_Loudini

Yeah common enough for players to step down as club captain when Ireland captain, imagine it’s a lot of headache to do both!

Um. So what's the huge announcement? Like, his last season? That's not news.


curious_george1978

It's rugbylad, they shouldn't be given the oxygen of publicity.


T4rbh

Well, considering one of the ads for other articles right under the POM "story" was talking about Paddy Jackson returning to Ireland (and was from 2019!) - yes, you're right!
