Leinster star James Tracy has been forced to retire at the age of 31.
The hooker suffered a neck injury during Leinster's European Heineken Cup game with Connacht in April of this year.
Tracy won the competition with Leinster in 2018 and played a key role in the success, coming off the bench in the final in Bilbao. In total, Tracy made 141 appearances for the province in a 10-year playing career.
