France record points scorer Frederic Michalak retires from international rugby

France's record points scorer Frederic Michalak has retired from international rugby following his side's 62-13 Rugby World Cup quarter-final defeat by New Zealand.

The 33-year-old fly-half limped off with a thigh injury during Saturday's match at Cardiff's Millenium Stadium as the All Blacks ran in nine tries against their opponents.

Michalak, whose contract with Toulon runs until 2016, told BBC Sport: "It's a sad end, but my body can't respond any more."

The Toulon player ends his 14-year France career with 77 caps and having played in three World Cups.
