Carter milestone

DANIEL Carter became the first New Zealand player to surpass 1,000 rugby test points in a 66-28 thrashing of 14-man Ireland in New Plymouth yesterday. Carter slotted 17 points on seven conversions and a penalty to move to 1,011 points as the All Blacks took advantage of Irish No. 8 Jamie Heaslip's sending off in the 16th minute for kneeing an All Black player in the head. Ireland has never beaten New Zealand since they began playing each other in 1905 and any hopes of a victory in their 23rd test evaporated after Heaslip's rush of blood. The game effectively ended as a contest nine minutes later when flyhalf Ronan O'Gara was sin-binned for a late tackle.
