A Scotland legend retires. He always seemed so reliable to me, who only watches Scotland matches.

The 34-year-old Clermont scrum-half is second on the all-time points list for Scotland with 714. Laidlaw has led the national team 39 times, more than anyone else, and becomes the third senior player to quit the national team after the World Cup. "It's probably one of the hardest decisions I've had to make," he told Scottish Rugby.

"I feel it's the right time, for me as a player and a person and us for a family, and for the Scotland team as well. It's never going to last forever and I've always been passionate about you only ever getting a certain amount of time in the jersey and you need to give they jersey everything you can. I've done that."
