The 34-year‑old made 124 Super Rugby appearances ‑ 84 for the Hurricanes and 40 for the Blues.
His All Black career included playing a leading role in New Zealand's World Cup win in Auckland in 2011.

He recently returned to New Zealand to play Heartland Championship rugby this season for Wairarapa Bush.
