The Stephen The Beaver Donald story from zero to hero screens on Sunday 8:30pm on TVOne in New Zealand. It is called "The Kick" because of his winning Rugby World Cup 2011 final winning kick vs France at Eden Park.
The Kick is a movie made in New Zealand for television. It is funny though because there are some actual players in the movie, but other players go under different names and some actors don't look anything like the player they are supposed to be.
It is interesting seeing how much fan abuse Stephen Donald got from passionate All Blacks rugby fans after the loss in Hong Kong against Australia. It obviously did affect Donald, but I am so glad that his career in New Zealand ended well. He was a good ITM Cup and Super Rugby player, but struggled to perform well for the All Blacks consistently.
Will you be watching The Kick on Sunday night?
