McCaw hints at retirement again

9:04 am on 20 February 2015

The All Blacks captain Richie McCaw has given his biggest hint yet he may retire from Rugby after this year's World Cup in England in September and October, Radio New Zealand reports.

Yesterday, the 34-year-old, who has led the All Blacks in 101 Test matches, told TVNZ he is considering hanging up his boots.

He says in all likelihood he can't see himself carrying on playing, but also doesn't want to make a big call now and then change his mind.

McCaw also squashed rumours he is seeking a lucrative French contract, saying the big money on offer overseas isn't likely to lure him.

A report out of France earlier this week, linked him with a move to Pau after the World Cup. The French second division side has already signed up his All Blacks team-mate Conrad Smith.

However McCaw says if he was still enjoying his rugby and wanted to carry on playing then it would be here.
