WATCH: Former Teammates Thank George Smith

Ahead of George Smith's last week in Australian rugby, RUGBY.com.au gave his former teammates the opportunity to say Thank you.

Smith will not be able to feature in his final Super Rugby game due to injury before heading to England to link up with the Bristol Bears.

Smith retired from Wallabies duty after 110 caps at the end of 2009, and though still an active player, has almost spent as long out of the international arena as he spent in it.

The flanker made a brief comeback in 2013 against the British and Irish Lions but, remarkably, if Smith had continued on playing every Test in the years since 2009, he'd be up to a staggering 225 Tests by now.
