The man nicknamed Beaver used to send nervous tingling up the spines of All Blacks fans. But a first-five injury crisis put Donald into action in the World Cup final and he stepped up. His penalty proved to be the game winner and now he should be forever addressed as Stephen 'Beaver' Donald, World Cup winner.
