Rugby-Wallabies prop Robinson hangs up boots due to eye injury

Former Australia prop Benn Robinson has retired from rugby due to complications with a serious eye injury when playing for the New South Wales Waratahs in Super Rugby. The popular 72-test forward suffered an accidental poke in the eye during a line-out against the ACT Brumbies in April and had developed a condition called microscopic hyphema, in which blood cells appear in front of the lens, affecting vision. “Rugby has been part of my life for so many years that for it to end like this is just so disappointing.” The 31-year-old said he feared he might suffer from blurred vision for the rest of his life.
