All Blacks sweat over Carter
23 Nov 2012
Dan Carter picked up a leg injury at training and could miss the All Blacks’ Test against Wales on Saturday.
All Blacks head coach Steve Hansen confirmed that Carter suffered a ‘leg twinge’ at training on Thursday. The flyhalf’s availability will be confirmed on Friday.
According to reports, a recovery in time for the match in Cardiff this weekend is unlikely.
If Carter is ruled out, Aaron Cruden will step in. However, the All Blacks could have no specialist flyhalf cover because third-choice pivot Beauden Barrett is struggling with a rib injury.

@The Sharks rugby pedigree is packaged as dog food-58: Should read South African born Australian author….I guess.
@poppa69-56: @Hurricane-57: As I have said before, Suffer_guy, ET and HG: lost property of the sort that no-one wants to claim as belonging to them…..

ohhhh sorry to hear….didnt know of him but if pedigree is sad then we all are.

@The Sharks rugby pedigree is packaged as dog food-58:
That is sad.
Only heard about his condition yesterday when they were advertising his “last ever book” being on sale.
He was a good story teller.

Hurricane
I ask for the last and final time
When are you coming to SA
23 Nov 2012, 09:07 am
@Hurricane-61: his most famous book was “the power of one” I believe
23 Nov 2012, 09:07 am
@poppa69-59: Power of One has to be one of strongest novels of our time. (IMHO). Read it as a youngster (teen) and the impact it had on me was unrivalled.
The fella knew he was going soon it seems…hence the rush to complete (and the final greeting in) his last novel.

@Dawn-63: just waiting on his kevlar vest and security detail…
the armoured car is fuelled and ready to go
23 Nov 2012, 09:08 am
Dont make me ask again
23 Nov 2012, 09:09 am
@poppa69-66:
Pfft
We have enough armoured cars here with full blue light escort.
23 Nov 2012, 09:11 am
Deathly silence
23 Nov 2012, 09:11 am
@The Sharks rugby pedigree is packaged as dog food-65: I think it may push sales of his last novel through the roof… was a prolific writer too…
A SA I actually respect
23 Nov 2012, 09:12 am
@Dawn-63:
Oh sorry.
Yep, we are looking next year around March.
Would go sooner but my job needs to be sorted and a couple of important contracts coming up in beginning of new year. Need to sort that out.
Have still not sorted on what part of SA we will go but love wildlife but dont want to get mauled by stray lions
23 Nov 2012, 09:14 am
@poppa69-64:
ohhh i have seen the movie, so do not need to read the book
23 Nov 2012, 09:14 am
@Dawn-69: is that a prophecy perhaps?
23 Nov 2012, 09:18 am
@Hurricane-71:
You should try the Cape Flats then.
23 Nov 2012, 09:20 am
@Hurricane-71: Simple really
Western Cape and Eastern Cape….
23 Nov 2012, 09:21 am
@Hurricane-71:
Please update so we can organise something.
23 Nov 2012, 09:23 am
@poppa69-70: Say it isn’t so? Suffer_guy and HG aren’t on your list of respected Saffas? And the heavens wept

Yep, i will keep you updated Dawn.

Carter’s faking it. Thinks he’s too important for Wales.
23 Nov 2012, 09:44 am
@katman-80:
So you can sense Carter is faking it, yet all the women you have been with….you never noticed?
23 Nov 2012, 09:45 am
@The Sharks rugby pedigree is packaged as dog food-46: Hello Pedigreed lady.Nervous about tomorrow.
Have a good day
23 Nov 2012, 09:49 am
@Hurricane-81: Hey, maybe some of them faked it. Guess I’ll never know.
But that sure beats having to tap her on the shoulder and let her know you’re done so she can get on with her day. I bet that’s no fun, hey?
23 Nov 2012, 09:53 am
@Dawn-79: Hi Dawn.In case I missed you
on the other thread(which now appears to be dead) Hello and have a great day.
23 Nov 2012, 09:53 am
@katman-83:
True, still better when your own hand fakes it, suppose thats no fun either.
23 Nov 2012, 09:54 am
@Hurricane-85: No, you see, that’s just not up to standard. I’m afraid you killed this particular conversation with mediocrity.
23 Nov 2012, 09:56 am
@ryecatcher-84:
Likewise!
23 Nov 2012, 09:58 am
@katman-86:
I take it you wont be coming to drinks with Hurricane then!
23 Nov 2012, 09:59 am
@ryecatcher-82: I too am a little edgy about this one. Our forwards should be strong enough..but I worry about all this talk of Meyer telling Lambie to ‘play his own game’ etc etc.
23 Nov 2012, 10:00 am
@katman-86:
lol
23 Nov 2012, 10:00 am
@Dawn-88:
he will be there if i am in town, he just could not help himself.
23 Nov 2012, 10:10 am
@Dawn-88: @Hurricane-91: No, I’ll be there if the invitation stands. Someone’s got to look out for the tourists.
23 Nov 2012, 15:08 pm
@katman-83: by “she can get on with her day” you mean she can carry on grazing in the fields with the other sheep?
23 Nov 2012, 15:31 pm
@suffer_guy-10: Absolutely agree, Carter is not in the level of Goosen. Just like Messi is nowhere near the level of Rooney.
23 Nov 2012, 15:35 pm
With current state of Welsh team the visitors should win by 20+, Carter or no Carter.
23 Nov 2012, 21:31 pm
@Nils-95:
Going to be without him.
See he has withdrawn
