White forced to quit rugby

Ireland international prop Nathan White is to retire from rugby union on medical advice after a concussion injury.

White’s provincial team Connacht and the Irish Rugby Football Union made a joint announcement that 35-year-old White’s professional career is over.

Born in New Zealand, he qualified for Ireland on residency grounds, and won 13 caps in 2015 and 2016, including being part of Ireland’s World Cup campaign last year.
