The All Blacks have drafted in legendary fly-half Dan Carter to calm any nerves among the faltering world champions ahead of this weekend’s Bledisloe Cup decider against arch-rivals Australia.

A shock 47-26 loss to the Wallabies has rattled the All Blacks, calling into question their strategy of fielding two playmakers in Beauden Barrett and Richie Mo’unga.

“He’s got a lot of World Cup experience and I just wanted to really have him around again to talk to the likes of Beaudy and Richie about what it’s like driving a team through a World Cup campaign where expectations are high. Who better to tell that story than him.” Despite that setback, former All Black Ian Jones called for fire and brimstone from the men in black in Auckland, saying they had to prove a point by muscling up to the Wallabies.
