The 33-year-old reached an historic milestone in the first Bledisloe Cup match:



Carter's incredible consistency throughout his career and metronomic kicking has allowed him to rack up such an impressive total, and as a veteran will no doubt handle the pressure of the big occasion when the All Blacks fight to retain their title.
