Congratulations on an amazing career Dan Carter! What one word would you use to describe the legendary New Zealand number 10?

[@gmcosmic2147]

Class

[@yangamjumba8373]

LEGENDARY

[@mightylizard1787]

efficient

[@ridaanjohnson7969]

Perfect

[@SynCa14]

Scary In a good way obvs I just hated seeing him walk out the tunnel against Ireland because I knew he’d always kick us to death or do something that ruins our chance to beat them

[@reeceaaronson2628]

In my opinion it's when he scored a truckload of points against the lions in the 2nd test 2005 - a great individual performance.

[@Adam-tf9nb]

I remember that, that was the series he got handed the number 10 jersey full time and played so well that it was going too be his forever. And it was

[@jaywillarendse8096]

I can remember playing rugby08 and this man's kicking was just on another level

[@shiroism8039]

Haha same good times

[@ianredfearn8217]

In my opinion it was his drop kick against South Africa. All the years of training in his back garden and the countless hours of practice all went in to that drop kick. Bagged them the World Cup.

[@carolmorris404]

Yip, I agree and I am a South African. Carter is a legend 🇿🇦

[@diulikadikaday]

That Rokocoko spin though. incredible

[@alexanderstewardadams9089]

Every single performance of the GOAT is legendary for me🙌🏻🙌🏻

[@paultwiss199]

The greatest rugby player of all time. He had exceptional vision, fantastic kicking, superb running game and a brilliant playmaker.

[@rh5466]

Where's the "debut" part? Did I miss something? It looks like just a compilation of career highlights.

[@poopnose1231]

Exactly this, was expecting to see highlights of his debut game. Clickbaited

[@camerondewaal4769]

i think they mean his debut in the list of icons

[@Nineteenseventy2]

Exactly, it was against Australia.

[@locominyana8916]

Man that right hand fend saw him well right throughout his career.

[@smsm-xb1lt]

I think because he felt like he didn’t deserve a World Cup winners medal in 2011 because of the injury, To get one in 2015 and that drop goal he scored in the final (as well as the conversion he puts over with the right boot) so that 2015 World Cup final is his finest moment in my opinion. There are far too many to chose from though

[@franzfanz]

Everything he'd learned over his career was put into that tournament. He knew he wouldn't see another so he gave it his all. There's a little moment when Richie passes him the Cup where he waves it away before Richie forces it into his hands. It really showed how humble he was and how much his captain knew it meant for him.

[@camwells9726]

He looked like he was struggling through the season , couldn’t quite recapture his best, but he timed his run perfectly to peak at the World Cup

[@arthurartz8720]

1:19 Chabal in another dimension

[@mrhiggins3009]

GOAT. Incredible to watch

[@Nineteenseventy2]

Your right about his world cup debut in 2003, but his real debut was against Australia at the MCG. Where he scored his first try.

[@varany95]

Most patient player ever. Missed 3 world cups and came out firing in his fourth. Absolute legend. DC is king of 10.

[@bilbobaggins6171]

Incredible just goose bumps.

[@christopherkyles1453]

GET HIM TO 1 MIL

[@damienfaure8739]

Thanks from Dan for all you have done!

[@xACJk]

great video, absolute legend

[@mahmudabdulwadud8515]

nz is missing him in 2019 & mounga has a long way to reach his level. the closest one definitely barrett.

As a fy half, nobody will ever reach his level. GOAT.

[@nicojojo9392]

Did you forget this ????" Gerry Thornley, writing in The Irish Times, was of the opinion that France was the better team on the night, with Joubert being reluctant to award penalties against New Zealand in the last quarter of the match. Sir Clive Woodward was of the same opinion "

[@Inconvenientx]

Don't think there was a weakness in his game. More than that, almost everything you could have was a strength of his. The most complete back I've ever seen. Pace, footwork, pass selection and accuracy, strength, temperament, kicking from hand, deadball - I wonder who else in the history of the game had it all?

[@samoinborut1339]

A rugby god!

[@TheRoundy18]

Best player ever !

[@shivneshchand7646]

In my opinion the greatest moment of Dan Carter was the drop kick against South Africa in RWC 2015.

[@vialoux33]

A big focus on the forward pass in the 2007 quarter-final, but we quickly passed on the arbitration of Craig Joubert in the 2011 final ...

[@biggest23]

Yeah, it must've been a huge shock to the French to be penalised for illegalities, considering what they got away with under NH refereeing.

[@crannies2666]

i cant believe france got away with that forward pass. unbelievable

Not sure why you would include the 2003 Quarter Final loss in this video?

In the highlights why on earth do you show kicks ? Why not passes and tries? Thanks anyway, appreciate it

As an England fan I want to say Wilkinson was better...but I can't...DC is the GOAT...(I'm not happy about saying that btw)

2:10 broke many kiwis hearts although forward that knocked us out. 😆😆 It's funny now but it sucked then haha

[@nzrugbyvidz9571]

We don't look up to celebritizm in NZ. If we see DC or McCaw on the street we don't go barrelling down the road after them but will approach them to get an autograph at times. If you don't come home with that RWC or lose one game you better look out...

Pretty ironic considering the 2011 final

Only the kiwis would think Carters a legend. He is a lot of things but he’s no legend.

[@Kumbaa513]

South african here, but carter is a top 5 player of all time. In my eyes the best to ever play

[@wowdogememe1541]

Is a world of opinions many things are subjective this take is as close as you can get to objectively wrong

[@RPedro87]

As a South African supporter, I don't think Northern Hemisphere teams have played enough rugby against Southern Hemisphere teams and that's why you make this salty comment. Dan Carter is the greatest fly half of all time period. The Northern Hemisphere has only celebrated one world cup win, that's one less than Australia who have won it twice. DC is a legend, and arguably the best rugby player to play the sport.
