When the French beat the All Blacks at Cardiff in 2007, Neville and Bev Carter were on hand to support their All Black son through his, and the team's, darkest day.

Four years on and tragically that support is being called on again - this time not because of a loss but a lost opportunity.

Today, at his beloved Southbridge Rugby Club, Dan's dad Neville spoke with Jendy Harper.

Also, we hear from All Black great Michael Jones and Cup Talk presenter James Gemmell on what impact Carter’s absence will have on the team.

Watch the full interviews.

Re Eliota Fuimaono-Sapolu. I totally agree with Eliota with regard the unfair treatment. My kids often ask me about whether things between two parties are fair or not, and I always say "swap the two people around and does it still seem fair". So if the IRB swapped Samoa's schedule with England's, would England complain . . .? They'd be all over this like a whatever you can think of!!

Leave the poor Samoans alone the IRB are cagey lot wont be surprised if they end up like the FIFA debarcle. Someone is pocketing alot of money and it sure aint the rugby players. I congratulate the young man for standing up for what he believes, the truth hurts.
