Former All Blacks captain Richie McCaw has nominated Dan  Carter  as the "most inspiring and hard working player" he had worked alongside.

With the former All Blacks captain fronting in a question and answers session for World Rugby, the topic of McCaw's favourite teammates was inevitably reached.

Without hesitation, McCaw nominated former club and country teammate, Carter, the pair sharing the field in 96 Tests.

McCaw says the amount of work he used to put in to make sure he was right to play on Saturday meant everyone around him made sure they were doing their little bits.

Elsewhere McCaw nominated former Wallabies opposite George Smith as the best he played against.
