France and Racing 92 hooker Dimitri Szarzewski has announced his retirement from international rugby.

The 32-year-old revealed at a news conference on Wednesday that he will not feature in a new Les Bleus era under Guy Noves.

Szarzewski won 83 caps for his country after making his debut in 2004, but his appearance in the 62-13 Rugby World Cup quarter-final drubbing against New Zealand will be his last.

He said: "It's a decision I've thought hard about and made up my mind a few weeks ago. It's something I've been thinking about for some time,

"I have told the staff of the France team and Racing 92. I need to dedicate more time to my family and my club.

"It's been an honour and given me great pride to represent my country and pull on the French shirt 83 times."

Szarzewski's retirement comes just a week after France captain Thierry Dusautoir called time on his international career.

The former Stade Francais man won three Six Nations titles - including a Grand Slam in 2010 - and also appeared in three World Cups.
