Kiwi Carter to leave for France after WCup

ALL Blacks flyhalf Daniel Carter confirmed yesterday he will end his test career after next year’s World Cup and join French club Racing Metro on a deal that could make him rugby’s highest-paid player.

The 32-year-old, the most prolific scorer in world rugby with 1,455 points in 102 tests, announced his decision at a news conference to join what is expected to be an exodus of top test players to European clubs after the World Cup. Veteran Wallabies utility back Adam Ashley-Cooper on Wednesday said he will join France’s Bordeaux-Begles at the end of 2015. Carter’s move has been anticipated for some time and British and New Zealand media reported his deal could be worth US$1.8 million per season.
