Wales greats Alun Wyn Jones and Justin Tipuric stunned the rugby world by announcing their immediate international retirements on Friday.

The shocking decisions came less than four months before the Rugby World Cup in France.

Jones has the most test caps in the world, 170 since 2006.

Tipuric has 94 since 2011.

If he'd made it to his fifth Rugby World Cup, Jones would have celebrated his 38th birthday in the first week.
