Carter insists he is staying put

'The black jersey means more to me than anything else,' he said.

'I'm keen to hang around and make the most of these next few years.'

Six of his colleagues — Doug Howlett (Munster), Luke McAlister (Sale), Carl Hayman (Newcastle), Aaron Mauger (Leicester), Anton Oliver (Toulon) and Byrone Kelleher (Toulouse) — have decided to cash in overseas but Carter says he has no intention of joining them, saying: 'I wouldn't want to be anywhere else but in New Zealand.'

After the desolation of their quarter-final defeat by France, chief executive Chris Moller admits that another four years as non-world champions will cost them a fortune.

'Over the last three-and-a-half years we have made no secret of our desire to expand our revenues offshore,' he said.

'Clearly, if you are playing the world champions, then there is a price. You can build and market that as something more special than those countries who ended up going out in the quarter-finals.'
