@mikethesnow 4 minutes in, he scores his debut try against Wales.
It's longer than most highlight reels because DC had a habit of doing rather good things on the Rugby paddock.

@mikethesnow Should have watched longer ...

Know what he’s lauded for, don’t need to see endless clips of his evolving hairstyle.
Original comment stands
Needs the Sum 41 ‘All Killer, No Filler’ treatment

He was no Gavin Henson but he went alright sometimes. Give DC a break

Don’t be so precious mate, he wasn’t knocking DC just the puff piece masquerading as a highlights reel and the thing is if there was ever a player that didn’t need a puff piece it would be Carter.

I’m disappointed you thought I was being remotely serious. Good White knighting though.

Always difficult to know with you half-Jock/half-colonial types.

@catogrande I thought Jocks (and the Irish and the Welsh) are colonials?

Then again you were Rome's colonials...so as the wheel turns.. -
The highest compliment I could give DC is that he was even better than Mike Gibson.
And he was.
-
The most amazing first five ever seen. A marvel of what's capable on a rugger field.
Shame he sullied it all by signing for the blues. The Australians of New Zealand.
A bit like with Jessica Alba with thrush, or prime Sharon Stone with a yeast infection - nearly perfect

Then again you were Rome's colonials...so as the wheel turns..Depends on whether one's ancestry is Anglo-Saxon, Norman, Dane or Celt. A total fish-mash. Brought home nicely at a soccer match between England and Germany. England fans had recently sung "If it wants for the English you'd be Krauts" to French fans and the Germans then sung to our boys "If it wasn't for the Saxons you'd be Welsh".

Considering who we are talking about this thread is a dumpster fire
I can't wait to tell my grandkids about all the ridiculous shit I saw Dan do live. What a rugby player.
Best all round player I ever saw.

I remember thinking in 2011 WC if DC had been fully fit we would have walked it. He was that good.

Thinking along that line it makes the 2011 win even more impressive because we did it with 3rd and 4th choice 10s

Interesting about his thought processes around retirement and coaching
