Sam Warburton opens up on dealing with retirement from rugby | Rugby Tonight 

Good player ...good leader..I always liked him as an Irish fan...He always carried himself with class

Always enjoyed watching Sam play. A true leader. Respect from NZ.

Class act on and off the pitch.

Also I'm going to add that he shows that there's more important things in life than the game. He's looking at his long term future.

One of the smartest flankers to play the game. His knowledge of the ruck was better than anyone else’s

Great player, such a shame he was injured so much. I remember him at the RWC 2011 and I thought he was going to become the best player in the world

Absolute gentlemen. Great role model

Classy man. Hope he does well. I think he well. Tough mentally and physically

Well played Sam. Enjoy your life.

Great player, great leader, always gave everything in each game. But what a humble and well spoken young man he is. Wales will miss him massively. Diolch am bopeth. Shame not so many footballers come across like this.

One word. Legend.

I am gutted sam gone all best sam

Best Welsh 7 ever and in the world best welsh and lions captain ever. Wales are still missing him big time. Great guy to. Wish he was still playing xx

Very clean player and that's very rare for a flanker, almost no cards during his career, very good at slowing down the ruck, and actually pretty decent handling, specially for a forward, excellent player, even better captain specially the way he talked to the referees, all taken into account he's probably top 10 maybe top 5 best forwards in the islands in the professional era of Rugby.

Good luck Sam. A great tenacious rugby player.

As An Irish man i say the welsh have lost a hell of a rugby player... but i'm glad for Ireland we wont have to face him again =)

Top man Sam, good luck for the future. Did more than your bit for Wales and the Lions. And for Rugby.

Great questions by Ugo

Class player for wales and a Tottenham Hotspur fan even better

Such a great player.

I’m Irish and Sam was one of the best player in the 6 nations

Always remember his red card against France in the 2011 World Cup. Never a red card and ruined what would have been a great game.

A great bloke.

Cardiff legend!

Why aren’t more video put up of rugby tonight? In the past there were more.

Was a fantastic servant of Welsh 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿Rugby and the British And Irish lions 🦁 a complete Gentleman on and off the pitch 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

Top player and gent

Great player but we have at least a couple of players in front of him now with the likes of James davis Joshua navidi thomas young and finally arron wainright and Ellis Jenkins and justin tipuric we are blessed!

Legend

I think he had 2 cards in his entire international career. As a flanker that is a silly number, and one of them was the infamous red card offence. It's weird that when it happened no one thought it was red, looking at it now given the changes in the past decade it's red all day long.

What was Austin healey laughing about throughout the interview

why did he retire?

Just think what he could have achieved as a player if he was still playing. Not to mention if he joined one of the Euro giants as well. Though I personally found the negativity and xenophobia around the 2017 Lions tour very tedious, I kind of stopped passionately following rugby myself around the same time.

Stats speak for themselves guy was decent, from and englishman

25 games per annum come on man, lower leauges will play 30+, oh your igger and take bigger hits. og off a 13 stone blocke hitting a 13 st bloke does the same damage to each other as 2 18 stone guys. Played every season, every saturday from 1972 - 2010

Active grandad

man who's mrs mutton? lol

who's that glake in the back wearing a liverpool shirt?!

why dont u play le in nfl wear shoulder pads protect u shoulders only play 1/2 year, only go for 10 seconds then rest 35 seconds, be like u slackking.

Good player but when it came down to it with the Lions he bottled it.

Wales have improved markedly since Warburton retired. Tipuric is a better all-round player.

Was always an average player anyway.
