South African Butch James has retired from international rugby, ending a 42-Test career that included winning the 2007 World Cup. The 33-year-old is the most capped No.10 for the Springboks, having played 37 matches in the position since making his debut back in 2001. He made his senior provincial debut in 1999 for the Sharks but is now with the Golden Lions, helping them to glory in the Currie Cup last season. He also enjoyed a stint with Bath, playing in 68 games during his time in England. James, who made his last appearance for his country at the 2011 World Cup as a replacement against Wales, admitted it had not been an easy decision.
