Carter’s All out revenge

ALL BLACKS legend Dan Carter says his old team are out to avenge their World Cup loss to England.

New Zealand are on a six-game winning streak and favourites to triumph at Twickenham where they last lost a decade ago.

But front of mind is their 19-7 semi-final defeat by England in Yokohama three years ago.

Carter (inset), who won 10 of his 11 Tests against the ‘mother country’, said: “When you have a defeat like that, the one thing you want to do is play against that opposition again.

“Knowing some of the players involved in that game, there will be some personal motivation going on there.

“There are players who have been a part of successful World Cups for New Zealand, so being part of a losing World Cup team really does hurt. They will have an extra edge for this game.

“New Zealand will have targeted England in this autumn series and will have been building towards it as if it were a World Cup final.

“For them to beat England at Twickenham in their last Test match of the year – it’s a huge game for them.”
