Scotland's most-capped scrum-half Mike Blair has announced his retirement from international rugby.
Praise
Scotland's interim head coach Scott Johnson, who will guide the team through the upcoming RBS Six Nations, was full of praise for Blair.
"I really enjoyed working with Mike during the summer tour and the more recent autumn Tests," he said.
"There's no doubt he's a quality international rugby player and a quality bloke.
"I respect and understand his decision to retire from the international game now and, on behalf of all Scotland fans, thank him for his years of dedication to the national team."
