Quade Cooper signs three-year deal with the Queensland Reds

http://ift.tt/2cdoEsK

As we revealed in The Roar last Friday, the worst kept secret in Australian rugby is out: Quade Cooper has signed a three-year deal with the Queensland Reds. Yes, the prodigal son is back, having steered the Wallabies around the park last weekend in their 29-9 loss to the All Blacks. For a while there […]

Quade Cooper is back in Australian rugby. He made his comeback against the All Blacks on Saturday and then was announced as the Queensland Reds marquee signing. With undoubted talent, Cooper’s career hasn’t hit the heights that some would have thought it could do after leading the Reds to the Super Rugby title in 2011. […]

Wallabies vs Springboks: Battle of the underdogs becomes clash of clueless coaches

World Rugby’s third-ranked team visits number four in Brisbane next week. Both teams seem to be falling off a cliff, hanging on by fingertips, one kicking and screaming, the other regurgitating stale clichés about growing and learning. This old rivalry has been ruled by home-field advantage over the years. The Wallabies usually beat the Springboks […]
