Dan Carter

Dan Carter is almost annoyingly complete. To me he's the benchmark fly-half, the highest points scorer in test rugby and a three-time World Rugby Player of the Year, which is a number that still feels absurd. Out of Christchurch and Christchurch Boys' High, he ran the All Blacks with this calm, surgical kicking game that looked like geometry. Injuries cost him at times, yet he still got his World Cup at the very end. He carried himself like the clean-cut face of the sport too. I respect how unflashy the brilliance was.
