Rugby: Wallabies hooker Moore to retire after Scotland test


SYDNEY (Reuters) - Former Australia captain Stephen Moore will retire from all forms of the game after he wins his 129th cap against Scotland at Murrayfield this weekend, Rugby Australia said on Wednesday. Hooker Moore, 34, announced earlier this year that he would retire from international rugby but said he would continue for one more season with the Queensland Reds Super Rugby team. Moore made his test debut against Samoa in 2005 and played at three World Cups, including captaining the Wallabies to the final at the last tournament in England two years ago. In Super Rugby, he started his career with his hometown Reds and spent several seasons as a stalwart of the ACT Brumbies before returning to Brisbane for last season. His 128 test caps already make him the second most-capped Wallaby behind George Gregan (139), while only All Blacks prop Wyatt Crockett has played more Super Rugby games than Moore's 177.
