Best rugby movie ever, lots of caracters but the main 1 is the beaver, no need him anymore, he was out fishing and then got call up to kick that winning penalty, then go bk fishing after, a story need to tell on screen, #legendbeaver.
Winning the 2011 did 2 things, 1- released the shackles on an all black side that would go on to dominate the next decade in world rugby and 2- France gave us 1 hell of a fright.
It wasn’t just the kick in this game. The French game plan was obviously to hammer the 10 channel with that being seen as an area of vulnerability. For the amount of time he was on the field Donald made more tackles than any other all black. Two big tackles from him resulted in game critical turnovers for the all blacks. He was the right man for the moment. I doubt Cruden or anyone else other than Dan Carter could have handled that as well.
I was someone who disliked Beaver, hated him even and to be fair he did some unforgivable things such as losing games by making poor decisions. But when he made that kick it was all forgotten and he became an INSTANT national hero.
Being on the defeated side, I find consolation in the fact that this decent guy, as well as a quality player, was hailed as a hero. It doesn't dispel the bitterness of several of the ref's questionable decisions, 'cause the French truly looked like accomplishing the feat, but what a great story for this guy. Worth it!
Got shitted on big time. Left and did some whitebait fishing. Gets the call to come back. Kicks the winning goal then disappears again. Beaver = Legend
The Man Gets Steamrolled by Media Then Comes Back Few Years Later Kicks The Winning Goal For The World Cup.
One of the greatest clutch moments ever!
I always come back to see how tight that jersey is on Stephen Donald
Man that tight little Jersey would be worth a Bob or two
“Cometh the hour, cometh the man”
Yes indeed 🤜🏼🤛🏼 *LEGEND*

There was a documentary about it all bro
Barely scraped in, but that'll do Beaver 😘
This man was the HERO of the 2011 World Cup...Stephen Donald....LEGEND
Legend says to this day he’s still fishing waiting for that call again.
Best world cup for ABS. Had all the storylines.
Beautiful fairy tale story blood sweat tears guts and glory.. absolute legend

Was looking for this comment right here. The 2011 world cup did exactly that but nobody speaks of it
Not only did he get the kick over but his confidence around the pitch seemed to really help the team.
He played an absolute blinder for 50 odd minutes he was on? They probably should have scored of a line break he made.
And just like that - we forget a career full of woes and he becomes a walking legend. There is a god

The beaver
Legend
Geez .... no pressure, huh? Poor bugger.
The bench players are most important!
Never looked like missing u bloody legend. Love u Beav
Hats off to him.he has been on and off the all blacks squad. I guess fate was on his side 💯👍
4th best NZ fly half would still be 1st choice for most other countries.
U the man bro
Hey Stephen? Stephen. Stephen. Hey Stephen!
Thanks man.
Awsome kick,it like he kick the ball from Auckland 2 Samoa,that far.
True Hero ❤️

Every man loves a Beaver!!
Still an epic moment by the beaver.
I’ll always remember the 2011 RWC and his name Stephen “The Beaver” Donald
Wonderful!

He is the Man
the hero...nice
Beaver you beauty ✊🏾
Grant fox kicking style ❤
The man☺️
Dammmmm
Did it actually go over?
Like they say the boot of a kicker will win the game. Stephen Donald was the last man to do the Job and he did it well.
Stephen Donald the hero of the 2011 rwc and not Dan Carter imo
Richie McCaw was the hero of 2011. Playing the tournament on one leg and captaining his team to a World Cup title.
@@mondayrhymes7340 Thats true to a point BUT without Beaver the ABs would have lost in 2011 so go beaver!!!😆👏👏👏
@@mondayrhymes7340 Kaino was the true hero
@d wood Piri was good until the final, then he choked and missed sone crucial kicks which made the game super close.

does anyone know what he says as he is about to kick
He says “follow through” before all his kicks
Head down follow through
Goated boot 😎
