TOKYO (Reuters) - Former All Blacks flyhalf Dan Carter believes playing in Japan has helped him rediscover the attacking mindset of a decade ago as he led Kobelco Steelers to their first Top League title since 2004 and was then named the competition's most valuable player.

Carter, who is widely considered the greatest flyhalf to play the game, joined Kobelco earlier this year following three seasons in France with Racing 92 after guiding the All Blacks to their third Rugby World Cup title in 2015.
