DC is an awesome player, every country has that one guy with the x-factor and he is NZs quade hmmmm bit suspect on the big stage but aussie will be an awesome team come next world cup in england,
D.c fed Gavin Henson one of the cleanest fends i've seen in my 14 years of watching rugby, during the 2005 British and Irish Lions tour. Was beautiful.
Everyone agree's in 05 Dan was the man. Nowdays Giteau has come along and dominated. Giteau is competitive and aggresive in a good way. Carter was excellent and nowdays is still good but his time has come.
@SLASH570570 ha, as an Australian myself i can a sure you right now he is way off, Barnes will hopefully even take the no.12 jersey off him soon. Right now if anything, Cooper is 2nd by his present performances (not so much in defence) but Carter will always been no.1...Jonny up there aswell
lol no it didnt take all their lifes. wilkinson achieved more when he was younger than carter did, he made his england debut at 18, did Carter ? Carter played a nobodys role at the 2003 world cup and was still onli younger by like a year, when wilkinson was younger than carter he was pulling the englAnd shirt on and owning all others !
wilkinson had achievement more at a young age perhaps than carter cause england has never really had any world class 1st/5s...in NZ great players have to sit in the wings to earn a spot...carter had to fight his way past Carlos Spencer and Andrew Merhtins....Who was Wilkinsons competition????ROB ANDREW!!!!!!????...THATS A JOKE~!...never the less...wilkinson was a decent player in the 3-4 yrs when england had a strong pack and he was fit
dan the man!! already one of the best players this country has produced. Has almost achieved everything. johnny and larkham are great flyhalfs also but dan would get my vote
and to think what would happen if he was on the field for all 80 minutes vs. France. New Zealand would have had at least a drop goal and would have played England in the semis. BY A COUNTRY MILE, THE BIGGEST REASON THE ALL BLACKS WERE ELIMINATED IN THE WORLD CUP.
Stick to soccer my arse, football is a handbag waving sport, they get kicked in the foot and there all over the bloody place the soft bastards. Rugby is the real sport
IRB player of the year 2005 DC has all the attributes to be among the best ever. you cant doubt his allround skills a constant threat everytime. Just glad hes a kiwi. Besides we have 30-odd other professional rugby players abundance that would dominate any team. Australia and france are also close behind
Thats a question for that super coach Andy Robinson.
Carter plays behind a pack that dominates every single game. I'd just like to see him play the game with slow ball and a 7 all over him before i call him the best player in the world.
There are more effective and important (not as flash) players for the Kiwis.
Name any player in the world who is more effective at 10 than Daniel Carter! New Zealand have used other players behind a dominant pack in the past - none have stamped their authority on the game the way DC has.
Hard out!! I totally agree Dan Carter is the total player defense, attack tactical and goal kicking are all highlights of his game dominant pack or not he still proves his class.
I haven't said he's a poor player, i'm simply saying he's a world class player playing with 14 other world class players. The proof being France supposedly the second best team in world rugby were humiliated by the AB. Dan Carter isn't a one man show.
I'm not saying he'd be ordinary in an ordinary team but McCaw, Hayman, Collins etc set a platform that can't be underestimated.
Some of the superlatives used (genius) are ridiculous. Call Ritchie McCaw a genius.
"Bro", I'll fuckin bro you, you thick fuck. Read what i said and then tell me the day after i posted why did Ritchie McCaw win IRB player of the year. Better still don't, just keep your fuckin trap shut you dumb cunt.

giteau? hes a very talented player but he is definitely not at carters level. i'd say giteau would be the 2nd best flyhalf in the world

Anthony Allen is not the only player in the 'made to look like a muppet by a Dan Carter fend' club.
Stirling Mortlock, Nathan Sharpe, Adam Ashley-Cooper and Berrick Barnes are but a few of many members of the club.
