Dan Carter takes on Leicester

Dan Carter is set to make his debut for Perpignan this weekend in the Heineken Cup against Leicester. The New Zealand fly-half will be hoping to set the European stage alight with his fast paced game and exceptional handling and passing skills.

In my opinion he is the best fly-half in the world right now, overshadowing the likes of Danny Cipriani and Ronan O’Gara by a long way. He has showed consistently over the last four years that he has everything a modern half-back should possess.

It’s going to be an interesting sight seeing Carter taking to the field against English clubs and I can’t wait to watch some highlights of him connecting well with his new Perpignan teammates. (and highlights it will be, I’m not going to be sat in front of the TV on Saturday afternoon, honest!)

This week Gloucester are also in action and it’s another thing trying to pull me away from playing myself. This week there is a special offer on with students being able to get a ticket for a tenner, which is a bargain compared to what I paid to watch them against Newcastle in September, which was a whopping £25.

However, I'm not going to give in, it's time to get back into action because otherwise I'll find some other excuse and I won't return until after the new year.
