Sometimes it’s hard to believe that a man as beautiful as Dan Carter is more than just a pretty face.
But, Jesus, he’s so much more.
The New Zealand legend might be finished with international rugby but the reality of it is that he couldn’t be farther from being finished. Just ask his Racing 92 team mates.
Carter delivered yet another moment of pure genius on Sunday to squeeze somewhere into that ridiculous career of accolades. The outhalf, with the ball in hands, with his team trailing, not only saw an audacious quick-play developing in his head, but he executed it to absolute glorious perfection too.
Racing had to fight back from 11 points down against Grenoble in the French Top 14 Championship and it was Carter’s ingenuity with nine minutes to go that made the difference when his delicious cross-field punt put Joe Rokocoko in behind for a try.
Carter took the conversion, Racing went one point ahead. It’s what he does.
They won in the end 39-35.
