(Reuters) - Former Ireland full back Rob Kearney said he will retire after lining up for the invitational Barbarians side against Samoa at Twickenham on Saturday, bringing an end to one of the most successful careers in Irish rugby.
The 35-year-old is Ireland's most decorated player with 95 caps and four Six Nations titles, two of which were Grand Slam-winning campaigns. He also toured with the British & Irish Lions in 2009 and 2013.
