This year's Philippine Volcanoes Asian 5 Nations squad will be missing one of its veterans, Josh Sutcliffe, who recently announced his retirement from international Rugby.
"From my first trip as a Volcano to my last A5N tournament, I have been blessed to wear the Sun and the Stars and represent the Philippines. My thanks to the PRFU board, Volcanoes coaches and all the supporters who have created a national union that is Proudly Pinoy and represents the Philippines with pride, respect and honor. It has been awesome to see the union grow and develop with additional national teams, women's programs and youth development that are helping to change lives in the Philippines. I know in the future, I will continue to see the PRFU grow and develop internationally and locally.
In addition, I would like to thank Matt Cullen and Expo Mejia who helped me develop as a player and a Filipino. Also, I want to say thanks to my family who has supported my dreams as an international rugby player. Without the support of my wife, Julie, I would not have been able to commit the time and money to pursuing my dreams.
Finally, I want to thank my fellow Volcanoes. From the training field to the Test match arena, I knew that my brothers were prepared to give everything. I will treasure the memories I have made and I look forward to seeing the Philippine Volcanoes continue to breath fire as they play with respect, discipline and be Proudly Pinoy."
