Waratahs Captain Phil Waugh has announced he'll retire from rugby at the end of the season.

While he's been overlooked by Wallabies coach Robbie Deans in recent seasons, Waugh hopes to make the Rugby World Cup squad.

Meanwhile, in Super rugby playoffs, Waratahs play Blues this Friday at 7:35pm and Crusaders will take on Sharks at 7:35pm on Saturday.
