    Former All Blacks captain Kieran Read has officially retired from rugby

    And a semi-final defeat for his Toyota Verblitz side against the Panasonic Wild Knights has seen him hang up the boots.

    The number eight won World Rugby's player of the year in 2013, played 128 tests, won two World Cups with the All Blacks and four Super Rugby titles with the Crusaders.
