Skinstad captained South Africa 12 times
South African forward Bobby Skinstad has announced he has retired from rugby for good after helping the Springboks win the 2007 World Cup.
Former Boks captain Skinstad, 31, came out of retirement in June 2007, having played his last Test in 2003.
"I leave the game on my terms and with the most wonderful memory of experiencing the thrill of a winning World Cup campaign," said Skinstad.
His last game was as a reserve in the 37-13 semi-final win over Argentina.
Skinstad, who could play as both a flanker and number eight, helped South Africa reach the World Cup semi-finals in 1999, but missed the 2003 tournament after breaking his forearm.
He came to Britain and played briefly for Newport-Gwent Dragons and then for Richmond in London South-East Division 1 as well as also working as a TV analyst.
