All Blacks winger chimes in on GOAT debate after France defeat

Rieko Ioane believes that All Blacks legend Dan Carter is the greatest rugby player of all time

The debate over who is the greatest rugby player of all time is one that has been going on for decades, and there are many different opinions on the matter. Some people believe that it is Jonah Lomu, while others believe it is Richie McCaw. However, All Blacks winger Rieko Ioane believes that the GOAT is none other than Dan Carter.

In an interview with the New Zealand Herald, Ioane said that Carter is the greatest because of his "all-round game." He said that Carter is "a great kicker, a great runner, and a great passer." He also said that Carter is "a leader on and off the field."

Carter played for the All Blacks from 2003 to 2015, and he won two Rugby World Cups during that time. He is the all-time leading points scorer in Test rugby, and he is also the most capped player in All Blacks history.

Ioane's comments come after the All Blacks were defeated by France in the first Test of their three-match series. The All Blacks have not won a Test match since November 2021, and they are now ranked fourth in the world.

Despite the All Blacks' recent struggles, Ioane believes that Carter is still the greatest rugby player of all time. He said that Carter is "a role model for all young rugby players." He also said that Carter is "a legend of the game."
