Dan Carter: The Unmatched Legacy of Rugby's GOAT

[@reiner164]

As a South African I say this with a heavy heart, but in my 25 years on Earth he is by far the greatest player I ever saw.

[@santos.l.halper1999]

bro, if our boys had half the accuracy of this man, SA might not have been the 4 time champions.......

[@lieschenslabbert538]

Couldn’t have said it better. As a fellow die hard Springbok fan, I can safely say Dan Carter is the greatest rugby player I ever saw. Truly the GOAT🐐

[@nielbotha7696]

Man he had the best hand-off ever for a 10

[@natedogg8775]

Miss watching that man play rugby, greatest player of all time in my eyes he could do everything. Would slice the defence apart with his footwork and speed, pass out of both hands, tactical kicking master off both feet if needed, one of the best goal kickers ever, physical and technical on defence, playmaking, leadership. That man really had it all I’d love to see another player some day with that kind of skill! Was truly remarkable

[@dalbs4466]

To be known as the greatest player in the greatest team in the history of team sports is a enormous achievement

[@ekamrr9375]

Greatest team in the history of team sports?

[@dalbs4466]

Ekamrr yip, The All blacks have won something like 82% of all their games they’ve ever played, which is higher then any other team in any other sport ever.

[@ekamrr9375]

Dalbs yeah maybe just wanted to hear your reasoning

[@Mumbo_Jumbo_Kiwi.1]

This was a greatest 2000 type team but it doesn't compare to earlier great rugby teams. That Welsh outfit in the early 70s were extraordinarily complete. They changed the game by skill alone.

[@phennigan]

Too bad for Carter he's no where near the top 10.

Around 2003/2004, the depth NZ had at fly half was insane: Dan Carter, Andrew Mehrtens, Carlos Spencer and Nick Evans. Probably 4 out of the top 5 in the world at the time.

[@MrStevo1080]

All day. He would be the 1st pick 10 for any team in any country in history

[@Razzle-se9dw]

Simply the best rugby player ever. His record 1598 test points speaks for itself, but this video highlights his vast arsenal of skills that made his plays look effortless.

[@ouldlhadjahmed3679]

This amazing video confirms that DC is the best and most complete N° 10 of all time: footwork with high intelligence and surgical precision, outstanding striker, rare sense of anticipation and masterful distribution of game, great versatility with speed of a winger and power of a flanker, and especially decisive in big games. Without his injuries, he would have been the greatest rugby player ever... Many thanks for Real Rugby, from a rugby fun in Algeria.

[@PerennialKillJoy]

He had everything. An absolute joy to watch and a properly nice dude \o/ thanks for the video

[@jamesmilne4233]

Saw a lot of tries when the score was already blown out. Reason why the score was blown out was because this guy had placed his team where they needed to be, kicked the goals which were offered and made the smart decisions which needed to be made. I will never see a player with a more complete skill set then DC. Needed to conclude this video with his right foot conversion in the RWC final after the Barrett try.

[@JTM1809]

@995sean Don't think so, mate. Carter was the better player in every aspect of the game.

[@JTM1809]

995sean We’ll have to agree to disagree. Carter was probably the best kicker ever. His points totals and ppg are insane. Dude kicked a penalty with his other foot during the RWC finals. That tells you all about the confidence. And he could tackle hard as well.

[@JTM1809]

@995sean Anyway, I looked up the stats and saw Wilkinson actually had better kicking percentage than DC. So, I stand corrected on this one. But there was a handful of those, whose kicking stats were even better than Wilkinson's. Nevertheless, DC remains the #1 all time, and Wilkinson #2. No one really comes close to the two. Not even Barrett, Sexton, or Farrell.

[@jamesholmes9932]

Living in the pacific. 2007 world cup, at age 10 i went with my grandpa to watch the world cup in another fellas home...(village life). Fiji upset wales...most of the village men were cheering for nz...influenced by them i do cheered for nz but wen nz lost most of the men were shattered ...they turned to aus and S.A. (northern hemisphere vs southern). I was fascinated by that english team(eng) tat i rooted for them...in silence lest the old folks learn of my choice an mock me...influenced by England's no. 14 winger(black guy) .no 13 matthew date(spelling prob) no.10 wilkinson and their forward pack...i remember how the aussie team came out overconfident walking to the ground instead of jogging...damn Wilkinsons performance was so spectacular (like his teammates) it was not just a gme to him but it was like he was carrying his country on his shoulder...drop goals after drop goal ...after tat world cup he was labelled one of my best player...over the years that followed watching tri nation and later the four nation...dc was sth else...they were really good...i think dc no.1 wilkinson.2 ....but the fact is every decade and generation good players arise remember my dad( an aussie fan) praising names of gregan ...tim horan stephen larkam ..campesse...n some nz players such as cullen lomu etc in which i didnt get to watch bcos of the age gap...but yep instilled in me are the generation of mccaw...brad thorn ...ali Williams..nonu and the most current squad...barett is a really good fly half imo...he has a more running gme and diff from dc and wilkinson...cruden...donald ...slade...each hve their own style of play and bring sth special wen they play...in the current world i think wilkinson and carters points on kicking is a record hard to beat bcos most capt now would rather score then take the 3 points....*i admire mccaw where almost every decision he gets he choose the post for carter...which aided in carters popularity of kicking and nz gaining easy points. I remeber morne steyn hardly given the tee compared to carter...and under reads captaincy where nz take the risk of having lineout to score rather than the easy 3 points.

Why they keep going back to Wilkinson? Oh that's right English, tsk tsk Jonny ain't got shit on Carter
