Carter names Schalk Burger as his toughest opponent

All Blacks great Dan Carter has honoured Springboks flanker Schalk Burger as the player with the toughest mindset he faced in international rugby.

The 38-year-old Carter is yet to announce his future plans after not being required for action during his surprise Super Rugby Aoetearoa call-up with the Blues.

But the former world player of the year and super boot didn’t mind a quick reminisce during a chat with Newstalk ZB.

Asked about his toughest opponents during a 112-test career that included two World Cup triumphs, Carter opted for Burger, the tireless blonde South African loose forward.
