Carter back on rugby field

5:49 pm on 25 July 2009

Daniel Carter has made his long awaited return to rugby.

The All Blacks first five, who is rated the best player in the world, has been out for six months after an achilles injury while playing club rugby in France.

Cater made his return playing for the Southbridge club side in Christchurch and afterwards admitted that he had been a little cautious on his return but was pleased to be back.

Carter says he hopes to play for Canterbury next weekend against North Harbour.

He says he'll see how that goes before contemplating a return to the All Blacks.
