how many stupid comments have been made on this video cant people simply watch and admire what the guy does, seems like a class act who is prepared to try anything it sometimes works and others it doesnt but he wears his heart on his sleeve, exciying player no matter what anyone thinks.
Johnny Pickles mate it's not even that, I'm all for trying new things but he does it in big games a clip could be made showing, "Quade Cooper: Rugbys biggest dummy" or something like that, it's good that he try's but the reds and wallabies always come off worse for it, that's why Bernard Foley always starts over him.
Some (obviously not all) kiwi fans need to get over themselves. Wales' biggest attacking threat right now, George North, was born in England and grew up here, but we don't complain every time he scores against us. As for his attitude off the field, that is obviously not ok but completely unrelated to the rugby. Also, outside NZ McCaw has a reputation for being a bit of a bellend and a wind up merchant, Cooper's "hatred" for McCaw may be more justified than you think.
so what .... cooper dont have nothing compared to mcCaw..... keep talking shit ......leave our captain out of it....cooper is useless....plain and simple....
995sean i have to agree, as a kiwi, quade just always went to pieces against the AB'S, its his cheap off the ball shots on richie that cost him the most here in nz, but that was all on him, tital brain farts.
I dont think people quite understand that most Kiwis dont dislike Cooper. We treat him as we do our own players. Carlos Spencer was jeered by half the country because he played average some days and other days he was the best in the world. Cooper regularly goes from amazing to club level and back again in a month. Had he been a NZ player he would get more jeers than Spencer did. Its not that we dont like him, we just like to boo him.
***** Yea i watched the video, you should watch his fails video, its just as long and doesnt repeat the same lame shit over and over.....showing a drop goal from right in front twice and claiming that makes him an "Australian genius" is just pathetic.
Robby Coleman I just watched that fail video and there were a few times in that video where they just showed him being driven back a few meters or into touch... so what is he the first player to ever be taken into touch or lose meters in a tackle?
Harrison Lee Count the dozen times when under pressure he threw the ball out, threw it forward, threw it to no one or just plain threw it to the opposition. Hes a scrub, deal with it.
Love all the kiwis trying to claim Quade Cooper is good because he happened to born in NZ. or, alternatively, bag him because he plays for Australia. Being born in any country doesn't make you good (or bad) at a particular sport, if that were so being born in Australia makes you good at cricket, swimming, league, surfing, netball, etc etc.. in fact, apart from rugby, if I were born in NZ, I wouldn't be bragging about it at all.
It's now mid 2017 and despite Quade getting nearly zero mins to prove himself in tests......and Foley playing pretty poorly at best....including for the Tahs......they inexplicable leave him out of the squad! wOW. There goes all hope of an threatening attacking Wallaby squad........that sucks harrrd!
Quade is Australian....ask him...he's been disowned by rascist New Zealand public so don't go claiming his rights then bag him. All his teen and adult career has been in Australia.......where we don't mind where your from. Quade is a WIZARD.....best single talent ever by a margin. No one can do what he does!
I do not see how you can claim racist New Zealand has anything to do with why was disowned, we frown on international athletes being convicted felons, we prefer know which sportsman is going to turn up on the day of any test, we prefer team players to showboats with big mouths. That is why we is disowned, race? has nothing to do with it. Remember Australia is far far more racist than New Zealand or most western countries for that matter. I speak as a Maori and as a relative of Quades
If you didn't realize but Quade has a Maori sleeve! Oh sorry I forgot according to you Quade Coopers connections to New Zealand doesn't matter any more! I could make a big list of players who are better than Quade Cooper!
Hmmmgood that's a massive stereotype. new zealanders have avoided the same treatment because it's a no name country which most people couldnt even point out on a map hahahha.
He really was good back in the day, used to love watching him play. He really has fallen so far, in the end he is his own worst enemy... don’t think he will be playing professional rugby again yet, he just makes too many terrible decisions, pretty much since 2014. Recently proven by him single handedly losing Souths the semi final in QLD premiership rugby by going for a terrible cross field kick when down by 1 point with a penalty right in front of the goal with 10min to go...
Guys need to stop hating him. Yes he has done some very questionable things in the past but he's a very good Player. I understand why Bernard foley was pick over him and there are much better fly-halfs than him Beauden Barrett, owen Farrell (sorry if I spelt some Thing wrong) but he is not half bad. And this is coming from an AB's fan.
Just a quick question. I know Quade has been a bit of a naughty boy off the field on occasions (as stealing a couple of laptops comes to mind). So does that mean that under the Australian immigration policy that he would be deported back to New Zealand along with everyone else??? (I'm sure that they would find an exclusion clause for that one) He is on his day a very talented player. Saying that he can have some shockers as well.
Australians dont understand the difference between the two countries, yea theyre both multi-cultural but are other nationalities accepted in Australia?!? as a kiwi in Aus i think not
The Australian Genius more like the Australian showboat who throws a no look to no one and then costs them a try. It's funny because I saw him at the shops.
Considering he went to the Church of England Grammar School in Brisbane where he learned his rugby trade alongside David Pocock (they played 10 & 12 for a season), I would say he is entitled to choose to play for Australia. Look at the ex NZ internationals now playing for Scotland and other countries...it is their choice because they can do it. All this Islanders who move to NZ play for the AB's as they are allowed to do that... and because NZ doesnt give money back to the islands for assimilating their players into the NZ way of life.... Although, there is a game due to be played in Apia soon, so that may change the perception of the player drain from the PI's. Quade Cooper - The Australian Genius - HD
Whoa there let's get one thing correct here. Of the Pacific islanders in the current All Blacks squad, none of them moved to NZ specifically to play Rugby. All migrated here with their families and most were young children when they arrived in NZ. The exception being Malakai Fekitoa who was 17 when he moved here again though it was with his family and was not with playing for the All Blacks in mind. There was no player drain or assimilation needed. If there is a player drain from the Islands it is more likely to be toward Australia than NZ. When are the Wallabies going to play in the PIs to compensate for the the players they have recruited? What makes your comments all the more ridiculous is that a large number of the Samoa national team were born guess where? New Zealand! Care to comment on that player drain?
Aidankiwi Sorry i guess getting my information from Roger Warrren (ex samoan international) was wrong about the state of rugby in the PI's.. maybe i should get a better source?
James elliot Maybe you should just answer the question I asked. As for the state of Rugby in the PIs and Samoa in particular, I think Samoan rugby has it's own internal issues to deal with without getting hung up on the urban myths being perpetrated about NZ Rugby
fuck me that is the most ignorant post I've read in along time. Name one current Ab that moved to NZ to play for the Ab's? Actually here's a challenge for you, name a current Ab (from 2014 European EOYT) that is not NZ born????????....i bet you get a bit of a shock, assuming you actually find out. He's a hint there is fuck all.
Guys seriously why so much hate against suh a great player. Who cares where he is from? He is Australian and has always played for this country. If I remember, Lomu is from Tonga, and so are many great NZ players. But there are still new zealanders. Here in France (we are not at our best now I'm afraid...) many of our great players are immigrants and who cares really? Quade Cooper is probably the most gifted player I've seen but too inconcistant to become an actual legend. Anyway great video
Cooper is not the only NZ born player in the Wallabies team, and that is not the reason he is so disliked in NZ. It has nothing to do with him migrating. It is all to do with some very unpleasant aspects of his character. That plus he is VERY over-rated.
Jonah Lomu, Ma'a Nonu and many more pacific islanders chose to play for the All Blacks, it would've been their dream growing up, they weren't picked or paid to play for our country, Nz is there home away from home.
They played for the all blacks because the money was far greater playing for the all blacks then playing for tonga,samoa,fiji etc. If the money wasn‘t a factor all these pacific islander players would be playing for their island nations not the all blacks.
jameon Mateta'a-Cooper obviously not they chose to play for the All Blacks because they live in New Zealand not in Tonga, Samoa etc, they started with the All Blacks in their rookie years, they wouldn't change that because people like you think their playing for the money, they live in NZ, so that's where they search for the opportunity, anyway the All Blacks were probably the main goal they set for themselves.
He's so unpredictable he does some amazing stuff but is to inconsistent. Matt toomua for fly half and foley back up. He is from New Zealand but he's an Australia rugby player who cares tbh.
If hes so good then why doesnt he preform when it counts, like against nz. He cant tackle.he will neva be considered one of the best number 10s till he proves sumthing
you my friend are a fucking idiot and clearly have no idea the skill it takes to turn players inside out and fool them every time. soft tries LOL hes a number ten, hes not going to pick a drive three players over the line from 5 m out. he will however run through 15 players without getting touched. hopefully there is a library near you and you can go and pick up a large volume set called rugby for dummies
TheDenimlocks It takes a lot of skill to turn your opponent inside out every time, which is why Cooper fails to do that. One out of ten of his showboating tricks luckily comes off for him. The rest of the time he makes a fool of himself, just like every time he opens his mouth.
Tay Rhodes Stalker alert! Nice to know that you find my words of wisdom so influential that you are now following me around the web. I'm flattered, even if you are struggling with your limited vocabulary to express your appreciation appropriately.

Ball hog and can’t defend for his life
Another great talent produced by New Zealand.
Hardly; he learnt to play rugby in Australia
so thts why his first pro club were the highlanders
Cool story bro
bit of a shame that he plays for Australia then aint it mate!
another great talent produced by australia - just because hes born in new zealand doesnt make him a kiwi player!

who is Cooper?.... no ones cares

he has a maori sleeve
Think it might be an indigenous one
The Wizards coming back to the REDS ;). Can't wait to see him carve up in super rugby again!
Lol
cooper played well for his Toulon debut
Most over rated rugby player of all time.

Hes a scrub, deal with it.
You're over rated
Have you even played rugby?
Mean cuzzie, fuck the haters.. 886 bro!!!
Too bad hes not actually from Austrailia
He isn't Australian, he's a kiwi

Quade is a WIZARD.....best single talent ever by a margin. No one can do what he does!
And he was born in NZ to NZ parents so that's where he's from, but we have plenty of talent, obviously everybody thinks so. So you can have him :)
I do not see how you can claim racist New Zealand has anything to do with why was disowned, we frown on international athletes being convicted felons, we prefer know which sportsman is going to turn up on the day of any test, we prefer team players to showboats with big mouths.

cooper is a massive douche and very overrated. wished he'd fuck off back to new zealand.
Hmmmgood that's a massive stereotype. new zealanders have avoided the same treatment because it's a no name country which most people couldnt even point out on a map hahahha.
Best Australian who ever lived
He really was good back in the day, used to love watching him play.

Australians dont understand the difference between the two countries, yea theyre both multi-cultural but are other nationalities accepted in Australia?!? as a kiwi in Aus i think not
He may be a terrible tackler but man does Quade Cooper put some style into what he does! craziest side steps I've ever seen!
A genius doesn't pass the ball to the side line
or kick the fucking thing out on the full.
A genius will make mistakes but he’s done more good things than bad things. Einstein would’ve made mistakes
You sit on the side line fat boy
mate ur wrong
Wonk or 2m forward
The Australian Genius more like the Australian showboat who throws a no look to no one and then costs them a try. It's funny because I saw him at the shops.
Australian Genius from New Zealand. he would be an All Black reject
Considering he went to the Church of England Grammar School in Brisbane where he learned his rugby trade alongside David Pocock (they played 10 & 12 for a season), I would say he is entitled to choose to play for Australia. Look at the ex NZ internationals now playing for Scotland and other countries...it is their choice because they can do it.

He might be an asshole but hell no he is not over-rated! He is inconsistant but when he is in a good day the other team is fucked...
oh dear dude. Lomu was born in NZ. FFS get ya facts right :(
but his family is from tonga
08padam " but hell no he is not over-rated!"
So why does he crumble under pressure so often?
all these people saying Kiwis fans need to get over themselves sounds like jealously to me.
its because thats all Aussies have is Cooper.... poor fuckers
Jonah Lomu, Ma'a Nonu and many more pacific islanders chose to play for the All Blacks, it would've been their dream growing up, they weren't picked or paid to play for our country, Nz is there home away from home.

The Australian genius? He's a new Zealander but aussie can have him
He's Maori. His Dad is Hemi Hohepa and his brother is Rolley Heihei.
look at how irrelevant the description is now....................lol
Gain resign past tradition version self write contest display.
Great tribute!!! The best ever :)
He's so unpredictable he does some amazing stuff but is to inconsistent. Matt toomua for fly half and foley back up. He is from New Zealand but he's an Australia rugby player who cares tbh.
does anyone know what the song is?
whats the first song?
If hes so good then why doesnt he preform when it counts, like against nz.
He cant tackle.he will neva be considered one of the best number 10s till he proves sumthing
he plays better in super rugby then in the wallabies
Imagine if s.b.w and nonu running off his shoulders. Then he wouldve been devastating. I wish one day hell play for our team back home
this fella aint that great hes not the best fly half in aus
He is not Australian, and he is also not a genius.

you my friend are a fucking idiot and clearly have no idea the skill it takes to turn players inside out and fool them every time. soft tries LOL hes a number ten, hes not going to pick a drive three players over the line from 5 m out. he will however run through 15 players without getting touched. hopefully there is a library near you and you can go and pick up a large volume set called rugby for dummies
