Carter faces fitness test ahead of Wales clash

New Zealand's Dan Carter has suffered an injury scare ahead of this Saturday's clash with Wales at the Millennium Stadium.

The fly-half suffered a leg problem during an All Blacks training session this week, and faces a late assessment before the match.

"Dan has a twinge in his right leg and will be assessed over the next 24 hours," an All Blacks spokesman told BBC Sport.

"And an update will be given at the captain's run [on Friday]."

Carter has an impressive record against Wales, scoring 162 points in nine appearances against Warren Gatland's side.
