All Blacks hero Stephen Donald re-signs for Waikato
Thursday 20 August 2015 14:06, UK
Former Bath fly-half and New Zealand international Stephen Donald has rejoined Waikato after a spell in Japan.
Donald, who played for Bath from 2011 until 2013, returns to the province for which he played 55 matches between 2004 and 2011.
He kicked the penalty which clinched New Zealand's 8-7 win over France in the 2011 World Cup final, giving the All Blacks the title for the first time in 24 years.
Donald was an unlikely hero, having been called up to the World Cup squad while on a fishing trip and only because of injuries to Dan Carter and Colin Slade.
He entered the final when Aaron Cruden was injured in the first half, and became the toast of the nation for his winning goal.
