    Dan Carter's career is defined by records and firsts. He is the only player to win World Rugby Player of the Year three times, and he holds the all-time record for most points in international test rugby with 1,598. He is one of only a handful of players to win two Rugby World Cups, and he was named man of the match in both finals. His nine Tri-Nations/Rugby Championship titles are the most by any player. Carter's consistency and longevity set him apart, and he is universally regarded as the greatest fly-half of all time.
