DANNY CARE RETIRES FROM INTERNATIONAL RUGBY
Harlequins scrum-half Danny Care has today confirmed his
retirement from international rugby with 101 caps for England
and 15 years of loyal service.
The 37-year-old, who has a record 369 Quins appearances, has
called time on his Test career after five matches for England
during this year’s Guinness Six Nations, including his 100th cap
in the 23-22 win over Ireland.
Born in Leeds, Care made his England debut at the age of 21,
replacing Richard Wigglesworth in the 37-20 defeat to New
Zealand in June 2008. A regular in the England squad over the
next decade, Care won the Six Nations in 2011, before helping
England to the Grand Slam in 2016 and Six Nations title in 2017.
He was also a key part of the touring squad that whitewashed
Australia in the summer of 2016.
Care also featured at two Rugby World Cups, earning selection
for England in 2015, before being called-up to the 2023 World
Cup in France, making six appearances and helping Steve
Borthwick’s side to the World Cup semi-final against South
Africa.
Retiring as just the sixth men’s player to achieve 100 caps for
England, Care hangs up his international boots with 15 tries
from his 15 years, alongside three drop-goals.
Harlequins Director of Rugby Billy Millard commented: “We’re
incredibly proud of Danny and everything he has achieved for
England. He’s been the ultimate professional for the past 15
years and worked extremely hard to fight his way back to achieve
101 caps. It’s a huge testament to his character, hard work and
professionalism and we congratulate him on a fantastic England
career and look forward to his continued impact at Quins".

Does this pave the way for him to move abroad without
sacrificing England appearances?

Possibly but I doubt it, he was very unlikely to be part of the
England playing set up going forward.

Great club player and better than Ben Youngs but 100+ caps level
good?
No chance.

It isn't his fault that there weren't any better English scrum
halves around.

4x Premiership champion and 3x European Cup champion Ben Spencer
is 31 years old.

Fair point, but following your logic, as Spencer is better than
Care, he's therefore better than Youngs, so replaces Youngs.
Who replaces Care?
For the record, Spencer with Care on the bench would get my vote
over Youngs / Care.

So, 5 different international coaches (and their various
coaching teams) opinion vs that of an internet poster. Hard to
know whose opinion to trust more... [emoji42]
