WELLINGTON (Reuters) - All Blacks captain Richie McCaw has given the clearest indication yet that this rugby season will be his last after media reports in France suggested he may be headed there after the World Cup later this year.

"Honestly, I haven't made any final decisions, but probably the likelihood is I am not going to be playing next year," the 34-year-old told reporters in Christchurch on Thursday.
