Dan Carter anointed as the greatest first five-eighth in history.
Understandably, there's a glint in Dan Carter's eyes this week. Overcoming adversity and rising to challenges is second nature for the Cantabrian.

The All Blacks’ magic and myth
The All Blacks' Bledisloe Cup victory over Australia on Saturday was not the summer solstice, a holy day or the dawn of the age of enlightenment.

Let's look at Imagine Dragons. They're a top ten act selling 25,000 records a week. 25k a week? That's positively anemic... Continue Reading →
More pressure on Australia Rugby
Getty Images SAME OLD: This was supposed to be the Bledisloe that sparked the Wallaby revival - but that wasn't how it turned out.
