With regards to the Northern hemisphere and specifically Ireland here are a few examples.During the week former irish international David Quinlan( he got two caps in Japan in 2005 when the top players were on Lions duty) was forced to retire from the game due to injury at the age of 29, he was playing with Northamton for the last couple of years having previously played for leinster.
However David has an interesting career ahead of him, not only does he hold a law degree from Ireland he has also completed a masters in criminolgy in Cambridge University!
