ENJOY RICHIE MCCAW while you can because it seems as if 2015 might be the last time we see the All Blacks captain playing rugby.
The wily openside has been linked with a move to France in recent months but the 34-year old appeared to distance himself from that last night by suggesting this year would be his last.
“Honestly, I haven’t made any final decisions but probably the likelihood is I’m not going to be playing next year,” McCaw told New Zealand’s TVNZ.
“But I don’t want to be getting carried away now talking about those sorts of things when I am focusing about playing.
“I want to really enjoy this year but, as I say, that’s the likelihood and I don’t want to make any big announcements because I don’t think that would be right going into a season.”
And, while McCaw could earn a pretty penny by playing in Europe in 2016, he admitted that he’d rather stay at home and play if he was to keep going as money is not his number one motivation.
“Everyone is motivated a bit differently and I’ve always said [money] is not the number one motivation.
“Obviously, it is nice to play and get well looked after because of that but I’ve always said that if I was enjoying it and wanted to carry on playing then I would play here.
“If I’m not enjoying it and decide I’ve got to go off just play to earn some cash I think that would be pretty tough.”
