New Zealand's Dan Carter and teammates avoid London traffic with tube trip

New Zealand star Dan Carter and a group of his teammates took in the traditions of London by jumping on the Underground in order to avoid traffic on Wednesday.

The team will take on Namibia in a Pool C Rugby World Cup clash this evening at the Olympic Park, but before that, the squad decided to travel around the city.

Carter uploaded a picture of his trip with Julian Savea, Jerome Kaino, Sonny Bill Williams and Kieran Read.

On Twitter, the 33-year-old wrote: "Better than sitting in traffic! #tmt = @jeromekaino @juliansavea7 #reado @SonnyBWilliams just missing big #guzzler."

The All Blacks kicked off their World Cup campaign with a 26-16 victory over Argentina last Sunday.
