Donald ignores the hype

Rugby World-Cup winner Stephen Donald is keen to play part in Bath's return to the glory days. The Sunday Telegraph's Steve James reports.

"His sudden summons from fishing on the Waikato River is a wonderfully alluring story but it does not automatically mean Donald is now the panacea to Bath’s problems.

"It is a point made by the humble Donald himself. “I don’t get carried away with all the hype in the press world,” he says, “I’m no star attraction.

"There’s the English captain [well, Lewis Moody was England captain before retirement], and people like that, so they are the stars. I’m just slipping in the back door.”

"But, of course, there will be many thinking very differently, because the trouble is that Bath, once serial winners, have been military medium for too long now."
