Carter sinks boot into Beale
Bret Harris | May 30, 2008

CRUSADERS five-eighth Dan Carter has turned up the psychological pressure on his Waratahs opposite number Kurtley Beale by emphasising the importance of goal-kicking in the Super 14 final in Christchurch tomorrow night.

Carter, playing in his Crusaders finale before heading to Europe, is one of the best goal-kickers in world rugby, while Beale has been inconsistent with the boot in his first season with the responsibility for the Waratahs.

Beale landed only two goals from seven attempts in the Waratahs' 28-13 win against the Sharks in their semi-final in Sydney last Saturday night.

You'd have thought the headline might at least somewhat align with the actual text that follows....
