Laurence Griffiths/Getty Images All Blacks great Dan Carter, the rugby world s record points scorer, has been showered with praise since confirming his retirement. Jonny Wilkinson, Matt Giteau and Quade Cooper are among Dan Carter’s international rugby rivals to shower praise on the retired All Blacks superstar – and the Springboks have invited him for “a braai’’. Carter’s greatness has also been hailed by foreign rugby unions, with Australia, England, France, Japan and the British and Irish Lions posting tributes on their official social media accounts. The entire spectrum of the rugby world – from Carter’s Canterbury country club Southbridge – to European Club Rugby – organisers of the European Champions Cup – and the champion five-eighth’s former French club Racing 92 have made generous acknowledgements.
