Gitteau says Donald is still a threat

6:57 am on 17 July 2009

The Wallaby first-five Matt Gitteau says they didn't expect Stephen Donald to recover from his hamstring injury in time to start at 10 for the All Blacks in tomorrow night's opening trui-nations match at Eden Park.

Donald was injured while kicking for goal in the second test win over France in a series which highligted the width of the gap between the injured All Black first choice numnber 10.

But Gitteau says the Wallabies don't think Daniel Carter's absence is that much of a plus for them.
