Wales scrum-half Gareth Davies has announced his retirement from the international stage at the age of 34.

The Scarlets half-back has won 77 Wales caps and toured twice with the British and Irish Lions in a Test career that began in 2014 in South Africa.

He helped Wales win a Six Nations Grand Slam in 2019 and the title in 2021 and scored a memorable winning try against England at Twickenham in the 2015 World Cup that contributed to the hosts exiting the tournament at the group stage.

Davies has announced his decision four days before Wales boss Warren Gatland is due to name his squad for the nation’s 2024 home autumn Tests against Fiji, Australia and South Africa.
