Leg injury: Dan Carter

The All Blacks are sweating over the fitness of star playmaker Dan Carter after the fly-half pulled up with a leg injury at a training session in Cardiff.

Steven Hansen explained to stuff.co.nz that his playmaker had "felt a twinge in his right leg", with just one day remaining before they face Wales.

Carter was an unused replacement last week against Italy and if unavailable it is likely the number ten shirt will stay with Aaron Cruden.

Half-back partner Aaron Smith came through the session unscathed but did ice his troublesome knee immediately after training on Thursday.

Isograford says...

Lordy, Carter will be giving Richard Kahui a run for his yearly injury rate soon. With Beuden Barrett injured too, this would be good news for Wales.
