Alexander says he’s had enough
– Former Wallabies prop Ben Alexander yesterday called time on his rugby career after 72 appearances for his country and a record 154 games for the Brumbies.
The 33-year-old made his debut for Australia in a 34-13 win over France in Sydney in 2008 and was a regular selection until his last Test in 2014 due to his ability to play either side of the scrum.
He was a one-club man, turning out for the Brumbies in Super Rugby more times than any other player.
“Ben has been a loyal club man and incredible talent,” Brumbies chief executive Michael Thomson said.
“To play over 150 matches in Super Rugby for one team is testament to his qualities.” –
