Former England and Harlequins lock Joe Launchbury is set to retire from rugby at the end of this season.

The 35-year-old won 70 caps for England, played in several Six Nations-winning teams, and featured at the 2015 and 2019 World Cups.

He said the time feels right to step away from the sport after a long career, adding that rugby has given him lasting memories and friendships.

Launchbury joined Harlequins in 2023 and has made 50 appearances, but has played only a few times this season due to injury.

He also had a long spell at Wasps, played in Japan, and has expressed interest in staying involved in rugby after retiring.
