Does it actually say anywhere that he has actually retired from international selection forever, he did withdraw from international selection earlier before joining Quins?
Good point!

Believe he had picked up a knock before last weekends game which is why he was named on the bench.
This may be part of the reason for calling up Lynagh?
I wondered that. Am I remembering correctly that Louis was a very good fullback at age grade?

Don’t blame him. Played well against England and then dropped to the bench the following week.

Most likely he's picked up an injury/knock that will keep him out of the remaining 6 Nations games & he may have already decided to retire internationally after the end of the tournament anyway, so he's just pulled the trigger now instead of waiting a few weeks.

Slightly strange timing but fair enough.

Shame but understandable. He's getting older and needs to look after the body and guarantee the income. Plus they look to be going younger with their outlook. At least he got to go out with a try against England.
We'll still see him in European competition though.

"This Wednesday, Tommaso Allan, the USAP full-back/flyhalf, announced that he was withdrawing from the Italian selection.
Did Tommaso Allan play his last match for Italy two weeks ago in Rome against England? Possible. The USAP fullback or opener announced this Wednesday, on Instagram , his decision to withdraw from the national selection.
"This decision was not easy at all. It was a very tiring year physically and mentally. Being away from my family for months only made things even more difficult. The decision was made for my own good -being and that of the team. Thank you as always for your continued support. Forza Italia" , wrote the player with 80 caps with the Squadra Azzurra ."
