Oracle of DelphiDan Carter: All Black is so last season...
February 24th 2008 21:30
...gold, green, navy and white are the colours toujours.*
All Blacks and Crusaders Flyhalf Dan Carter is considering his future in New Zealand Rugby and may move overseas when his contract ends this year.
This possible move has been inspired by his desire to become like Stephen Larkham and barring cosmetic surgery and a lobotomy, joining the Brumbies is his best option.
He has also expressed his interest in joining Japanese team Ricoh Black Rams but Japanese Rugby officials vetoed that idea, saying that although everyone knows he (Carter) looks good in all black, it's the Land of the Rising Sun, not the Rising Shirt and the sun shines out of Larkham's class...
I suppose y'all would like to read the truth now?
...sigh...you're no fun...
Yes Carter has said he is "considering his future" and that his future may "lie outside the rugby-mad nation". Just not for the reasons I've cited but we all know that's the truth anyway.
Carter who is a national hero in his country and is supposedly the best flyhalf in the world - now that Larkham has retired - said the "pressure" associated with being the chief playmaker for the All Blacks was one of his main considerations.
That and his career as an underwear model.
The 26yo Carter has already played in two World Cups, won two Super 12/14 championships with the Crusaders and was the 2005 International Rugby Board Player of the Year.
Big deal. He's still not Stephen Larkham.
Carter told NZ media;
...and regaining respect for NZ Rugby after the All Blacks choked (again) at last year’s World Cup, losing to France in the quarter-finals.
The ABs' have failed to win a World Cup since 1987 despite or perhaps because of, always going into each tournament as the favourites.
Carter said;
No. It happened at the right time.
I really really dislike Dan Carter.
Not only is he a brilliant Rugby player and getting better every time, he's also a very grounded, sweet and humble guy. Plus I will begrudgingly admit that he isgorgeous okay looking...it's just such a pity he's not a Wallaby/Brumby...
It would be a great loss to NZ Rugby if they let him go, which I sincerely doubt. NZ Rugby is not as stupid as the ARU.
They don't cut their legends off to spite their sportsmanship.

It is tough at times, you know – that expectation to win every game
...and look good bare ass the only thing covered after a bruising game of Rugby.It’s tough because you are not going to win every one of them. It’s just a matter of winning as many as you can and the right ones.
Winning one from the right...

Carter told NZ media;
In a fairytale I would love to still be here in 2011 playing for the All Blacks. That would be a dream...
I come off contract at the end of the year and I suppose it is a matter of weighing up what I want to do. At this point I am just focusing on this campaign, and giving respect to the Crusaders jersey

Carter said;
I guess that is the thing about last year...we didn’t win the ones that mattered, which was tough....
But that’s the beauty of sport - things like that can happen and that's why people watch games.
Unfortunately it just happened at the wrong time.
