Stephen Donald: Beaver

by Stephen Donald, Scotty Stevenson

Stephen Donald etched himself into All Blacks folklore with that "kick" in the 2011 Rugby World Cup final at Eden Park, Auckland. Donald, one of the country’s most popular All Blacks, had not originally been wanted for the World Cup squad. He was whitebaiting in the Waikato River and effectively off the rugby grid when the SOS went out for his services. The rest, as they say, is history. Now, Donald is combining with Scotty Stevenson in a book which will cover not only Donald’s career, but also poke fun at both himself and his team mates.

[Shahiron Sahari]

Enjoyable and breezy autobiography of one of the most interesting Kiwi rugby players, who went from all black discard to being called up at the 11th hour, while whitebait fishing and sulking, when three men ahead of him got injured, and kicking the winning points to win the World Cup for New Zealand.

[Rebecca Whelan]

Great book showing what Beaver went through to get to the World Cup final
