In the 112 test matches he played for the All Blacks, first-five Dan Carter amassed a staggering 1598 points, at an average of 14.27 per game. No active player is within 500 points of his tally and no other player with 500 or more international points has achieved a higher average per game. After announcing his retirement from professional rugby in February this year, Dan Carter has embarked on a new journey. He's co-founded a business called Glorious, a platform for non-fungible tokens or NFTs, and has joined the Oxford Foundry at the University of Oxford, as its first ever Leader in Practice helping to mentor entrepreneurs to be resilient and capable under pressure. He's also just released a book, Dan Carter 1598, which takes readers on a test-by-test journey, as he reminisces on his world record test career.
