Dan Carter has suffered a recurrence of his 2011 World Cup injury, and is blaming it on a captaincy jinx. A devastated Carter crashed out of the 2011 World Cup when he suffered a severe groin injury while practising his goalkicking in Wellington before the match against Canada. The former All Black superstar has now been laid low by a similar injury playing for his French club Racing 92 last weekend. In 2011 it took Carter just under six months to return to action.
