An amusing & scarcely believable stat from the build-up to yesterday’s England v NZ rugby match at Twickenham – Dan Carter on his own had comfortably outscored the whole England team in previous games he’d played against them:
Dan Carter has scored 151 points in his eight Tests against England. In those matches the average score is Carter 18.87, England 12
In the event Carter scored 16 points, equalling England, inspiring the hope that the 15 men in white might one day combine to edge out the one guy in black.
