RUGBY - Phil Waugh - 0

The 29-year-old Waugh has accumulated 77 caps for the Wallabies since making his debut against England in 2000 and played his 100th Super rugby game for New South Wales earlier this year.

"This is not a decision I have made lightly," Waugh said. "There were many different factors to consider.

"However, I have a real love and passion for representing the Waratahs and Wallabies.

"I am thoroughly enjoying my rugby in Australia, and have a real drive and desire to enjoy many successes over the next period of time."
