phenomenal player, and scored one of if not THE greatest Lions tries of all time. Hope to see more of him as a pundit and analyst. Congratulations on an exceptional career

[@harryocallaghan8082]

Probably the main reason I got into Rugby. He Revolutionised the backrow position. Look at the man, cute all over his face. He was fearless, no one was as good as him at the time. He is one of the greatest. Good man Seanie!

Absolute warrior. Legend. Always a straight talker.

Congratulations on a fantastic career Sean,one of my favourites,a fantastic player and big character.Good luck with what ever is next 👏👌☘️🇨🇮

[@michaelrigney8906]

Thanks for everything Séanie. You were a revolutionary rugby player, you changed the back row. You were THE #1 reason why I got into rugby and why I loved it. You made me better in so many ways, you motivated me to work harder and be better. Watching you from a young age you spurred me on even till now. Watching all your highlights pumped me up to train harder. Thank you so much Séan. All the best in retirement.

Favourite player ever - when he scored that try against the AB in 2017, well - that’s why we watch rugby I think. Don’t get much better than that.
