He holds the record for the greatest amount of Test match points and is widely renowned as one of rugby’s greatest players of all time, but Dan Carter is not featuring for the All Blacks this summer, whilst England tour the country.

Daniel Carter scored 20 points to help the Crusaders beat the Chiefs to bring his Super Rugby total points to 1194 surpassing his 1188 test rugby points
