Dan Carter (1:16)

Against all odds, in the stadium in front of 96,000 South African fans, that game was brutal. Everything was against us. There was just so much pressure. We found a way, a pretty historical test match.

Steven Kitshoff (1:29)

Your top five moments representing the All Blacks, especially against the Springboks.

Dan Carter (1:33)

Did have a test match of that caliber at home in front of your people. Must have been added to the specialness of that game. And you didn't even mention the score.

SPEAKER_3 (1:43)

I didn't even have to mention.

Dan Carter (1:44)

Come on, tell them.

SPEAKER_3 (1:45)

Tell them.

Dan Carter (1:45)

Tell them. I remember watching that game. I was like, what is going on? The box are on a whole other level. It became the worst performing All Black side in the history of Rugby World Cups. When you're thinking about something that's happened in the past, you have no value to the team. It is the only time in my career that we keep the box pointless. And this was our chance to prove to the rest of the world that we were up for it and we can beat this extremely physically dominant team. You know, you had your Victor Matfields, your Bucky's Bothers. Yeah, Schalke Burgers, man, you could go through the BSVs. Just these absolute physical demons. We had the likes of Kieran Reid just knocking over their big boys, getting up and doing it again. Jerome Kaino just absolutely polarizing these guys that are twice the size of us. And I've never seen an All Black four pack step up like they did in that moment. It was one of the most physical games that I've ever been a part of. Never heard that, but I love it. Taking notes and if anyone's listening here, that's the little secret ingredient here to the box success over the last few years. So giving away all the trade secrets. I love it. I need to keep talking to you to get more of that inside knowledge from the box camp. And don't forget to hit that subscribe button. Why? For the love of rugby.

Steven Kitshoff (3:03)

What a moment for the love of rugby, South Africa, as we welcome our new signing for the greatest rivalry, two time World Cup winner, one of the best to ever do it. Welcome Dan Carter.

Dan Carter (3:13)

Thank you, Steven. And I cannot believe I'm drinking out of a South African rugby mug.

Steven Kitshoff (3:18)

How things have changed, eh?

Dan Carter (3:19)

My goodness. I was actually looking forward to a Bomb Squad beer, but not to be.

Steven Kitshoff (3:25)

Straight off the...

SPEAKER_3 (3:26)

Okay, sounds good.

Steven Kitshoff (3:28)

I actually want to get straight into it. Like your top five moments for representing the All Blacks, especially against the Springboks. And just a little quick story on each one. I think there's probably some great memories and some great moments, but we'd really love to get into it.

Dan Carter (3:42)

Yeah, that's huge. It's a huge question because there are just so many memorable moments playing up against the Bokks. I love the history of rugby. You know, the fact that the All Blacks have played the Springboks over 100 times, over 100 years, and there's just nothing that separates these two teams. And for me, there's no greater rivalry in rugby. And I was lucky enough to play against the Bokks on numerous occasions on both sides of the ledger. Now, my top five is hard. My mind has gone straight to 2015 semifinal.
