Dan Carter admitted he could hardly have a better ending to his glittering international career after his man-of-the-match performance helped the All Blacks to a historic World Cup triumph.

The No 10’s flawless kicking put New Zealand in control and then ended Australia’s hopes after the Wallabies threatened a comeback – Carter scored 19 points including a quite stunning drop-goal as the All Blacks won 34-17 in the final at Twickenham.
