Watch: Graham Henry hilariously talks substitutions and Stephen Donald

By Online Editors
Graham Henry on Stephen Donald

Graham Henry fantastically and honestly recounts the chain of events that lead to Stephen Donald stepping up to take the World Cup winning kick in 2011.

It's refreshing to hear the human side of Henry and get an insight into his thoughts during the 2011 fly-half crisis, which led to Stephen Donald, who was out fishing for whitebait receiving a call-up.

You can still hear the exasperation in his voice when re-telling the events of that fateful night in October.

"Donald comes on, God... and kicks this goal."

"He kicked the fastest penalty goal in the history of the game, boom, boom."

Just inside the right upright, we finished up smashing them 8-7 and that's why I'm talking to you today."
