“He tried to kill me” – Dan Carter ranked his five toughest World Cup opponents

1. Schalk Burger (South Africa)

Carter said: “Schalk Burger was the toughest opponent that I played against. He tried to kill me every time we played South Africa.”

“A real competitor and absolute top bloke off the field as well. His mindset was a little bit different when he was out there competing. That just made him such a tough opponent to come up against.”
