    Dan Carter hopes Canterbury and Crusaders fans can understand his decision to pull on the Blues jersey for Super Rugby Aotearoa

    Dan Carter hopes Canterbury and Crusaders fans can understand his decision to pull on the Blues jersey for Super Rugby Aotearoa


    The 38-year-old All Blacks great has joined the Blues as an injury replacement.

    Carter made 141 appearances for the Crusaders between 2003 and 2015, scoring a club and competition record 1,708 points.

    He says his dad Neville was incredibly supportive of the move, however his 90-year-old nana Pam's more concerned about his body than the colour of the jersey he's wearing.
