Dan Carter picks his perfect XV – including Jonny Wilkinson

SECOND-ROW:

  • 4. Paul O’Connell (Ireland)
  • 5. Brodie Retallick (New Zealand)

BACK-ROW:

  • 6. Schalk Burger (South Africa)
  • 7. Richie McCaw (New Zealand)
  • 8. Thierry Dusautoir (France)

Carter on Burger: ““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.”

Carter on Dusautoir: “He had some blinding games in big moments — none more so than in the 2007 and 2011 World Cup games against the All Blacks.”

Carter on McCaw: “I learnt a lot from playing alongside my old mate. A real leader and took us to back-to-back World Cups. Thank God I was never on the opposite side!”
