Wales Deaf captain John Cudd helped his side beat England for the first time in five years at Cardiff Arms Park before announcing his retirement.

The win was revenge for the hosts after their 41-7 defeat by England three weeks earlier in Cambridge.

"That's me done now," said flanker Cudd.

"I played out in Argentina in the sevens World Cup, [where Wales won] and then I wanted one last chance to play at the Arms Park."

He added: "We haven't beaten England in about five years, which we now have so I've gone out on a high note."
