Dan Carter's prowess on the rugby field is well matched by his sartorial savvy. Always a stylish figure at charity parties and public events - often with his beautiful wife Honor - he never puts a wrong foot forward on or off the field. Carter's good taste is well-known to his team-mates.
For his 100th test against England in 2013 - which they won - the team followed tradition by presenting him with a gift: an antique Louis Vuitton trunk. "I wanted something I would keep for the rest of my life and an antique trunk ticked all the boxes. Timeless, beautiful, historical and practical," Carter said last week from Chicago. Here are a few of his favourite things.
