Stars of the Rugby World Cup in pictures

Dan Carter - New Zealand. At the age of 29 Carter is already the all-time top scorer in test rugby with 1219 points from 82 tests, and probably the biggest star in the world game. But, like the rest of the All Blacks, he will be under immense pressure to perform in front of his home crowds. New Zealand have not won the World Cup since it was first held in 1987 and if they are to do so the fly half will need to be on top of his game.
