Super 14 speler van die naweek

Daniel Carter

Nee kyk, as daar nou iemand is wat kan rugby speel dan is dit die man! Tweede keer dat ek hom aanwys en hy verdien dit want sover het hy in elk wedstryd, behalwe een, ‘n drie gedruk. Hy skop fantasties en is die naweek as die man van die wedstryd aangewys.

The fifth most prolific point-scorer in Super rugby after six seasons as a Crusader, Daniel Carter entered the 2008 Super 14 just 229 points shy of becoming the first player to 1000 points. The Southbridge junior plundered a record 221 points in the victorious 2006 Crusade, and has maintained an average in excess of 13 points per match for the Crusaders, and 15 per game for his country. The 2005 IRB Player of the Year, Carter has already scored the most Test tries by an All Black first-five-eighth. He is also now the second most prolific point-scorer in New Zealand Test history, having surpassed Grant Fox’s tally of 645 in 2007.
