Wales scrum-half Mike Phillips has announced he has retired from international rugby.
The Racing-Metro player, 33, appeared in 99 Tests -- 94 for Wales and five for the British and Irish Lions.
But he was left out of Wales coach Warren Gatland's squad for the World Cup and although he was subsequently recalled as cover for the injured Rhys Webb, he did not play at the tournament.
"This is a chance for me to close a chapter of my life and to move on to the next chapter," said Phillips in a BBC Wales documentary, The Real Mike Phillips.
"It was always a dream of mine to play for Wales, it meant everything to me and it's an amazing feeling to represent your country. For me it was a privilege."
Phillips' last match for Wales was the 35-21 defeat by Ireland in a World Cup warm-up match.
He has indicated that he wants to extend his club career in Paris.
