All Black first five eighth Dan Carter says he wouldn't be too impressed if his new club Perpignan pulled out of the Heineken Cup.
Carter is due to join up with the French club for his six-month sabbatical in December.
He's said that his main motivation was to play in the Northern Hemispehere's premier club competition but the Top 14 side last week threatened to pull out of the tournament over an 18-week ban against hooker Marius Tincu.
They are appealing the suspension but Carter says he'd be very disappointed if they pulled out.
