Dan Carter and Hong Kong’s Matt Worley set for Racing 92 clash against Sharks in Natixis Cup
The former All Blacks star is expected to be in the line-up for the fourth edition of the match at Aberdeen Sports Ground
All Blacks legend Dan Carter and Hong Kong’s Matt Worley are slated to turn out for French team Racing 92 against the first South African Super Rugby side to play in the city – the Cell C Sharks – in February’s Natixis Cup.
The 35-year-old Carter retired from the New Zealand set-up after winning a second World Cup title in 2015 and is in the final season of his three-year contract with the French Top 14 side. His appearance in Hong Kong at the Aberdeen Sports Ground on February 3 will be among his last for the club.
Worley played for Hong Kong at the Under-20 World Trophy in Uruguay in September, having previously represented the city at various age group competitions. He went to France two years ago initially for a four-week stint but is now knocking on the door of a regular first-team place.
“Natixis is delighted to once again welcome Racing 92 to Hong Kong, and particularly excited at the
prospect of the team including one of Hong Kong’s native sons, Matt Worley,” said Alain Gallois,
