Many thanks for that information IGV, I always thought that shane returned to Ireland one season to early as Tigers transformed him and he may have obtained more caps with that extra year here.
A true Irish Tigers well remembered, good also to hear another Tiger stalwart Leo Cullen retired too.
With Frank Murphy refereeing it is all the more reason for Morris to stay at Tigers and not join the retirees!!

A top flanker who filled what would have potentially been a very big hole left by Back retiring.

Always gave his all.

I always thought he would kick on as was class here like the try he scored against the Scarlets in the Heineken cup but never really did..

Still fine player and a great career unlucky the Tullow Tank came around when he did else he may have had more international caps!

I always had a lot of time for both Shane and Leo and was sad to see them leave, but understood why. TBH I hadn't realised that Leo had already retired and am surprised to see Shane go at a relatively early age. Good luck to them both and it's nice to see Shane go under his own steam rather than stay on, in a punishing position, and be forced to go in pain.

Thanks to both for the good times we had together at WR.
Opportunities always look bigger going than coming.
