Writing in the Western Mail, Gwyn Jones believes the debate must now begin as whether or not Carter is the greatest rugby player that has ever lived.
"Those who saw [Gareth] Edwards, [Barry] John and the other past greats are better placed than I am in making that judgement and comparing players from different eras is always difficult, but Carter has my vote. So when God’s representative on earth turned on the style in the second half, it should not have surprised anyone that the All Blacks moved up a class and the contest was over.
"Yet the disappointing aspect from a Welsh perspective is that Wales fell apart so drastically in the second period.
"In the past we have blamed the fitness levels for the deterioration but I’m not sure that it’s quite that simple. The Welsh players are a pretty fit bunch. Wales were the comeback kids in the Six Nations and the Blues came back strongly to beat Toulon only a few weeks ago. I think the problem is more psychological."
