Posting a snap of him posing in his rugby kit, Greg said: “My life has always been focused around my rugby career, so it has been a really difficult decision for me to decide to retire from the game I love.
“It just feels like the right time for me to close that chapter of my life, especially after reaching my goal of becoming an Olympian and with everything else I want to do outside of rugby.”
Greg uploaded a YouTube video to further explain his departure from the game, saying that he wants to make a career outside of rugby and go down a different life path.
