In an anouncement that's shocked the Australian Rugby Public, 110-test veteran George Smith has pulled down the curtain on his glittering international career. Smith will play out the Super 14 Season with the Brumbies before exploring avenues in the Northern hemisphere. The backrower has turned the game of rugby on it's head since emerging from his days playing Colts with Manly and we want to know what you're favourite memory of the great man is. email us at: This e-mail address is being protected from spambots.

Too many memories ..... to single a few out his MOM v the Lions in 2001, the master class in the 2004 Super 12 Final, MOM v Baa Baas in 08 (as captain of Wallabies v Burger, McCaw and Collins), anytime he pulls on a Manly jersey - I remember v Eastwood in 2008 the Wood's were hard on attack in our 22 and he must have turned over 15 balls inside 20 minutes. It was just the anticipation whenever George had or was near the ball you just knew something special would happen. Devastated he is gone - watching the Wallabies will never be the same. Go the Brumbies in 2010! - Bergo, Manly "Winning the 1999 first grade Colts Premiership for Manly alongside the great man. He was a hero back then and a hero now, Hero!" - Harves, Freshie. "My favourite memory of George was when he got man of the match against the British Irish Lions when he was 21. Good luck this year and beyond" - Glen, Manly Vale. "Watching him destroy West Harbour with Cliffy two years ago. It wasn't fair" - Gold Dust, Manly.
