Former Australian Men's Sevens captain Ed Jenkins has been forced to retire from the game as he battles a shoulder injury. Jenkins became the first, and only, Australian to notch 50 Sevens caps, when he ran out in Hong Kong last year. "I'd like to say I came to the decision but I think it was the two surgeons that rammed it home to me that continuing to play wouldn't be great for my health and wellbeing," Jenkins said. "I have loved Sevens and the aspect that you get to travel around the world with a small group of guys and get to know them really well. That's something that I'll miss, putting on that jersey and running out to a full house is something I'll definitely miss. "I would have loved to have played a few more years for my little girl Indiana, for her to be able to have those memories when she's old from when Dad was a rugby player. So I'm upset that she won't get to see that but when I look back at what I've achieved and what I've done, I can't really be upset.
