Carter returns for All Blacks

Daniel Carter has been named in the New Zealand starting XV for Saturday’s must-win Tri-Nations/Bledisloe Cup clash against Australia in Sydney.

Since being recalled to the All Blacks squad last week following good performances for his province Canterbury, the star fly-half had been expected to slot straight back into the number 10 position after both Stephen Donald and Luke McAlister struggled in the role while he was absent with an Achilles injury.
