IT WAS ONLY A SIMPLE PENALTY KICK

Sometimes our media just get too carried away and whip up frenzy among the simple minded public. Stephen Donald came on late in the RWC final, performed adequately as is expected in rugby at this level and kicked a relatively easy penalty kick that Weepu probably would have as well. Now we get all this hype about Donald being a hero that saved the day etc. Well excuse me but a penalty kick is worth 3 points and a try is worth 5 points so in my view it is Woodcock scoring the All Black's only try who should be lauded much more than Donald.

Now if Donald's kick had been something like this one then it would be worth all the talk
