Dan Carter keeps winning titles and accolades deep into his rugby career, being named the MVP of the Japanese championship after leading his team to the title at his first attempt.
Carter kicked five conversions and one penalty as his Kobe Kobelco Steelers scored eight tries to crush the Suntory Sungoliath 55‑5 and win the Top League title.
Carter's debut season on the back of a successful stint in the French Top 14 with Paris club Racing 92 was a personal triumph of the 36‑year‑old All Blacks superstar.
The Kobe Kobelco Steelers playmaker was also named top kicker with an 86.2 per cent success rate across the season.
Carter feels like he has wound back the clock with Kobe, helping them to their first league title since the 2003‑04 season.
