Christchurch - All Black flyhalf Dan Carter's final Super Rugby season began with a rocky start as the 32-year-old appeared to suffer another leg injury in the Crusaders' surprise 20-10 loss to the Melbourne Rebels on Friday.

Carter has also already said he will leave New Zealand rugby after the conclusion of the World Cup to take up a three-year contract with France's Racing Metro.
