Dominici quits international game
Christophe Dominici
Dominici won his 65th cap against Argentina in the World Cup
Veteran French winger Christophe Dominici announced his retirement from international rugby on Saturday.

The 35-year-old, who made the decision after Stade Francais's 33-6 win over Montpellier in the French league, won 65 caps and scored 23 Test tries.

"Playing for France is over. It has been a big part of my life but now it's time to turn the page," he said.

"There are other players and it's a new story beginning for France with the objective of the 2011 World Cup."

Dominici made his French debut in February 1998 in a 24-17 win over England and he won his last cap in the 34-10 defeat to Argentina in the third-place play-off for the 2007 World Cup last October.

He played in four Six Nations-winning teams, with two Grand Slams, and also played in the 1999 World Cup final defeat to Australia.
