The Day I Met Dan Carter
by Josh Shearer
One day, I just landed in New Zealand - Wellington to be exact! When I was getting my bag off the
conveyor belt, believe it or not... I met Dan Carter!!! When he saw me shouting his name, he walked over
to me and gave me tickets to the New Zealand v U.S.A. game. As I was so delighted, he also gave me a
jersey and a rugby ball! After that I went back to the hotel because the match was the following day.
When I got back it was 10pm, so I went to bed. In the morning I got ready and ran out because the bus to
the stadium was coming down the road. When I was on the bus I saw a Kiwi by a tree.
At the stadium I bought a foam finger and a rugby scarf. Half way through the match Dan waved at me,
this was really funny because when he was waving at me he wasn’t looking where he was going and then
he tripped over! The match finished at 15-All. It was a good game and everyone was happy!
