Dan Carter's the man but I’ll be here for as long as I can

Today Ronan O’Gara talks about the incoming world champion Dan Carter and his future with Racing Metro

Dan The Man arrives today. He was due in Paris on Tuesday but remained in New Zealand for the memorial service for the late, lamented Jonah Lomu. Too late obviously to be involved in tomorrow’s Top 14 duel with Toulouse, and I would think he will be short too for the visit to Pau next week. Thereafter, Racing have back-to-back Champions Cup games with Northampton. They’re the kind of games Carter’s been bought for.

Lest we forget, tomorrow’s Toulouse game will revert back to our Colombes ground. It was to be played at the Stade de France but recent events put paid to that prospect. Even with a limited capacity of 12,000 tomorrow, security will be extremely tight. Supporters have been told to arrive very early with their hands hanging. No rucksacks or liquids. Disturbing times.
