I believe he surpassed this performance with his last three matches for the ABs -- the quarter-final, semi-final, and final of RWC2015 -- taken individually or as a whole.

Seeing Jerry Collins smiling in the back at 0:51 brought a tear to my eye. R.I.P. legend.

I was working in the UK during that tour. I'd go to work, get all my lads set up on a "job 'n knock" and then meet my pommy missus at a packed local pub to watch the game and I'd be the only Kiwi in there. The only one laughing, yelling and roaring in response to the AB's magic amongst a sea of replica Lions jerseys that surrounded their bitterly disappointed owners.

Fucking

SIMPLE DC BEST 10 EVER
AND IN THIS GAME BEST PROFESSIONAL ATTITUDE EVER

This is once in a lifetime performance, given England were raining R.W.C champion's at the time back in 03, the Lion was left with his jaws ripped and it's spine snapped. Bravo

[dssfffdddss]

One of the most dominant performances by a player. Lomu 95 vs England is the other that comes to mind.

[badabing]

Best individual performance at 10 I've seen. Glad I got to see his last game in an AB shirt live.

There is a shot from this series of Carter leaving Wilkinson in his wake and to me, it's iconic.

[LureThosePixels]

I love that first try because it's richie mccaw and tana umanga both there for him

1995 - Jonah Lomu vs England
2005 - Dan Carter vs Lions
2015 - Julian Savea vs France
Let's see who continues the trend of NZ backs dominating a single opposition through the decades...

Respect to one of the best rugby players

[stephenalexander]

Just one of the many great games Dan Carter played for New Zealand. Great to see Andy Leslie giving an opinion. I don't think that many people realise he was a dual international playing softball NZ as well.

[stravosio]

Final score 48-18 over the Lions. Those were the days.

[mariusheyns]

When NZ played against us ( S A ) i would always stress when carter was flyhalf

[KiwiNZ]

The best rugby player ever. That day DC became a man.

[rosswhite]

At the time he was the best 10 on the planet
