Peel Retires

Post by Dacre »

Dwayne Peel has been forced to retire after a shoulder injury

Great player in his day and the pretty much the only player who fell foul of 'Gatland's Law' when he moved to England

Very good player for us back in the pre-Gatland era. Thanks for the memories Dwayne, you helped put a smile back on the face of Welsh rugby after 2 decades of hurt.

He's had that shoulder injury since the 2005 Lions tour, it's amazing he's lasted so long.

Great player, sadly overlooked by Gatland.

Superb player, one of our best 9s ever.
Gerald Davies, what was he doing there?!

It always seemed crazy to me he didn't get more caps in the last 10 years. Great player.

I thought he must have retired already. Excellent player - ridiculous how he was sidelined by Gatland.
