The Scarlets have announced the news that plenty in Welsh rugby had feared would be coming — that fans’ favourite James Davies, one of the key members of the region's 2016-17 Pro12 title-winning side, would not be making it back from the concussion issues that have plagued him since November 2020.
‘Cubby’, as he’s known to one and all on the circuit, hasn’t played since winning his 11th cap for Wales when they faced Georgia in Llanelli almost 18 months ago.
He has now decided to retire as a player with immediate effect amid ongoing concerns after his head knock.
