Ronnie O'Sullivan jokes about retiring after Natalie Sawyer suggests how Snooker could try and replicate the Darts with certain change that may encourage more young people to engage in the sport.
Ronnie O'Sullivan has announced he would immediately retire from snooker if the game decided to take a leaf out of darts' book.A seven-time world champion, O'Sullivan has also scooped a record eight Masters titles along with as many UK Championships.
He said: "In the UK it is an older crowd, but in China and Saudi Arabia, they have a very young crowd watching it, I don't know why that is. Unlike in many professionals sports where athletes tend to retire in their late 30s, there is no set age for when snooker players call it quits. And O'Sullivan has declared that success as players get older depends entirely on whether you still have love for the game.
