Carter to start cup game

09 January 2008
New Zealand fly-half Carter, who has signed a seven-month contract with USAP, only trained with the Top 14 side for the first time on Monday.
When asked whether Carter will start against the Tigers, Paul Goze, the club's supremo, said: "Yes. With us being three matches from the end of the pool stages, we are not masters of our own destiny now. We are going all out to beat Leicester and have no regrets."
With USAP third in Pool Three on only five points, the prospects of them topping the group are slim.
Carter, who admitted his primary motive for coming to the club was to play in the Heineken Cup, may have to now set his sights on winning France's Top 14.
"USAP are a good team but one which, until now, have never been able to make that last step up," added Goze.
"With Carter, we have the possibility of doing that. He can lead us to the French championship, which we have been waiting for for 54 years."
