EDIT: Neil Treacy tells us this photo is actually from the New Zealand Autumn tour in 2008. Apologies.

One of the benefits of emigration is the spread of out national games and judging by his tweets this morning, hurling has spread as far as New Zealand out-half Dan Carter.

Not satisfied with being the best out-half currently playing the oval ball game, Carter turned his hand to another field game by turning out to practise with some Irish lads in a local Christchurch park.

I could definitely see him doing a job at centre forward.
