Dan Carter back for red and blacks...
All Black first five-eighth Dan Carter will make his return to top-level rugby this weekend.
Carter has been named to start for Canterbury in their Air New Zealand Cup opening round clash against North Harbour on Saturday.
Carter has not played a top-level game since injuring his Achilles while playing for Perpignan in France six months ago.
It will be Carter's first game for Canterbury since October 6, 2006, when he played against Wellington in an NPC quarter-final.
He played 80 minutes for Southbridge against Hornby in the Ellesmere sub-union competition last weekend, scoring a try and kicking two conversions in his team's 34-13 victory.
