Quade Coopers passport has a roo and emu on it, makes him Australian.

And from the picture below I'm sure it's Cooper in a Gold jersey (again Australian)

Onlt traits of Kiwi would be the when he is in trouble !! but as a kid when his parents brought him over, he should have out grown it by now.

Only Kiwis and saffas on here, must be because you're worried he is staying with Reds and Wallabies !!!!

If SBW was offered more money to play netball he would.

Trinats2 - his website is the subject of much ongoing ridicule on an Australian rugby forum; I couldn't make it past the opening page though I doubt he wrote that himself - marketing folk. Secret admiration? I don't dislike any rugby player, from anywhere, but prefer their efforts are limited to the playing field, and I'd include the Khoder Nasser/SBW hype in that, as well as every journalist who announces 'the next Lomu' I think every country has had one now, and they haven't been the next one - or even close.

When Cooper can average better than 2 points per test - he's under that now - 68 from 35, maybe he'll get a little respect. Journos love to compare him with Spencer, also 35 tests - but 291 points; no comparison is there?

Cooperman to the rescue !!!!!

tha_mai: Why are you looking up his website ?? I haven't even looked it up? You, like most kiwis, have a secret admiration for the most exciting and electrifying player on the planet, don't you !!.

Trader2:

yes he did, like Geina, take a pay cut. Which proves he's not at the Reds for the $$$ !!!

Who else was chasing him????? Anyone that could afford him, in both codes, tabled offers.

@Trader2 ...Who else was chasing him?

quite right, in his current barely fit/recovering from injury state he'd have been difficult to market after just a couple (I think it is two) part-matches; quite a drop in buyer-appeal from his peak last year - after Super rugby but before RWC - despite being: a Fly Half in the world game of Rugby Union, whose extraordinary skills, creativity and sensational athleticism have seen him entertain Rugby followers and non-followers alike. Quade is arguably the most exciting and electrifying player on the planet. (quote from his website)
