Daniel Carter is out of the entire Rugby World Cup after sustaining a groin injury at training yesterday.
The announcement was made at a press conference this morning.
All Black doctor Deb Robinson said Carter had a tear in the tendon and his World Cup was over.
A scan has revealed the 29-year-old, 85 test All Blacks vice-captain had torn the adductor longus tendon in his left groin.
He suffered the injury during kicking practice at the captain’s run training session in Wellington yesterday afternoon.
Robinson said: “The scan confirmed our worst fears that the tendon has torn which means he is out of the tournament.”
