FLYHALF Stephen Donald has been left out of an All Blacks training camp for players not involved in the Super rugby playoffs yesterday, a major blow to his hopes of making New Zealand's World Cup squad.
Donald, 27, has won 22 test caps since his All Blacks debut against England in 2008 and was expected to be in the running to make the squad for the tournament as back-up to Dan Carter. "We just think other people are playing better right now," All Blacks coach Graham Henry said. "I talked to him about that yesterday and unless we have injuries, he's not likely to be involved."
