A story of determination, commitment, record breaking achievement, Inspiration and sporting greatness. With each of Dan’s 112 All Blacks tests told through Dan’s own eyes we are so proud to release this very special Opus for everyone to enjoy.”

Dan Carter, said “I’ve always loved and admired the work that Opus do. Their story telling and presentation is second to none and naturally, when they proposed creating a ‘Dan Carter Opus’ I was humbled and excited at the same time. I’m humbled because I’m joining a peer group that represent excellence in their chosen sport and excited because I get to look back at a stage in my life that has rewarded me and my family with so much pride and gratitude. I just hope my Opus will inspire the next generation to work that little bit harder and believe in themselves in whatever their chosen goal, be it academic or in a sporting arena.”
