WELLINGTON (Reuters) - Dan Carter has conceded he might not appear for the Auckland Blues at all in Super Rugby Aotearoa, with the side only having one more game remaining in domestic competition.

The 112-test former All Blacks flyhalf, 38, signed for the Blues as injury cover and had been pencilled in on their bench for a July 18 match with the Wellington Hurricanes. Carter, however, suffered a calf strain and was forced to withdraw from the matchday squad.
