When did dan carter begin to play for the all blacks?

Answer 1

Rugby Football was introduced to New Zealand by Charles John Monro in early 1870; Monro discovered the sport while completing his studies at Christ's College, Finchley near London in England.[6] The first game in New Zealand took place on Saturday 14 May 1870 in Nelson between the Nelson Football Club and the local Nelson College, coached by Monro and its then Principal, an Rugby School oldboy, Rev. Francis Simmons, which game Nelson FC won 2 goals to nil. The first interclub game occured 4 months later, when Monro was in Wellington and received a challenge from his Nelson clubmates to organise a game there. Monro not only selected and coached the Wellington team, then on 12 September 1870, in a rough paddock at Petone, he played for Nelson while also refereing the game. Before this game, Nelson had become NZ's first Rugby Football Club in NZ and next Wellington Rugby Football Club formed in April 1871. This led to the Wellington v Nelson game becaming an annual feature alternating between cities. The first interprovincial game took place in Dunedin in September 1875 between the combined Auckland Clubs v Dunedin Clubs. In 1879, the first Provincial Unions were formed in Wellington and Canterbury[7] and the NZRFU was formed in 1892. In 1882, New Zealand's first internationals were played when the Southern Rugby Union (later the New South Wales Rugby Union) from Australia toured NZ which tour was returned by NZ in 1884. An 1888-89 NZ "Natives" team toured NZ, Australia and the UK, playing 107 games, greatly lifting NZ's rugby's profile and laying the foundation for future All Black tours. NZ played its first international rugby Test v Australia in Sydney in August 1903, winning 22-3 then its first Test at home v Great Britain in Wellington, winning 9-3, in a match watched by CJ Monro and 39,000 enthusiastic NZrs. in 1905-06, NZ undertook its first official overseas tour of the UK, France and America, winning 34 of 35 games. Still seen as the most important in NZ rugby history, this "Originals" 1905 tour gave birth the name of the NZ rugby tean as the "All Blacks". Such was the strength and skill of the NZ rugby that they did not lose a home Test until 1913, losing 5-16 to Australia in Christchurch.

The name "All Blacks was coined by a Devon (UK) reporter in the 1905 tour who in his description refered to the team as "The all blacks". The name was continually used across the UK tour by other reporters. The name refelected the new strip as prior to this it was a navy top and white knee length shorts.
