Former Welsh captain Gareth Edwards has told Newstalk ZB the Rugby World Cup has been "robbed" of a fantastic player.
Edwards said losing playmaker Dan Carter was New Zealand's "worst nightmare".
"We all know what a key player Dan Carter has been for the last few years. That's not to
say New Zealand will be a poor side without him - far from it.
"But, of course, he's been very much your catalyst, your orchestra leader - he's a conductor, isn't he? And obviously he is a major points contributor to the New Zealand machine."
He said the question now is whether the team will react in a positive manner and use Carter's circumstances to bring them together.
