No one has ever had more fun as a retiree than Marshawn Lynch.

First he was riding camels and dunking on high schoolers in Egypt. Now he’s in Australia playing rugby.

Lynch is in Australia to watch his alma mater, Cal, open its season against Hawaii. He also decided to drop by rugby practice with the South Sydney Rabbitohs.

It may be a different sport, but Lynch managed to bring his signature celebration to the rugby pitch.

Where will Beast Mode end up next? He still has four continents to cross of his retirement check list. I’m hoping his next stop is training with Lionel Messi and Barcelona.
