Could not give a fuck about Cooper. Arrogant twat who should never play for the Wallabies again. He's useless for us anyway.

one of my biggest regrets was never playing rugby in high school back in zim.



As for Quade, well it was a case of him thinking he is too good and the wallabies trying to quell him but doing it the wrong way.

He definitely has talent, just doesnt seem to have the focus and the mental aptitude to go with it. The wallabies on the other hand are trying to be too tough and as such players can lose that interest, it also happens when you constantly picking players like Beale and co just for their name.

As an AAll Blacks supporter I take great joy in Australia claiming Cooper to be the next messiah of rugby only to unceremoniously axe him 6 months later because he couldn't carry the wallabies.

Cooper definitely had the potential, and I thought it was pretty ballsy of him to come out and criticise Deans and the wallaby organisation because, let's be honest, it's certainly warranted.

But the fact he's such a twat kinda makes me indifferent to him leaving, if that's indeed what happens.

It's so sad to see Australian rugby in the shambles it is at the moment.

Arrogance got it there, arrogance will keep it there.

I'm more disappointed that he is leaving the Reds as he is an absolute gun for us. But we still have Lucas and Harris.

Such a load of shit. Good luck to the guy.

You're not one of those australians who support the All-blacks are you?

I was born in New Zealand. As an Australian citizen, I cannot bring myself to support such a pig-headed team as Australia, even when playing a team other than NZ. The whole ARU is arrogant and short-sighted.

Thats ok then:)

Really should've gone to tonight's game.

Woeful second half.

Folau didn't do himself any favours, he was pretty poor in all facets all over that park.

And so were the Waratahs. Pretty crap game all round actually.

Very scrappy performance, hopefully Genia is back soon. But it's always good beating those Tahs. :d

A Reds and Cheetahs win, very nice. :d

Force to have yet another shit year?

I hope so.

I'm not a massive Force fan. I've found it hard to get into them tbh. Partly because they're always shit, but even when they were good I wasn't massively into them.

I've always hated the Force, you guys came along and poached all of our best players.

Anyone watching Sharks v Rebels? Sharks up 14-0 with one in the Bin as well.

Well that was quick the Sharks have already sewn up a bonus point. Now up 24-0, here comes a thumping.

Go away for 15 minutes come back and it's 59-0. :shock: That was quick.

I thought they were good in the first half, a lot more dynamic than last season. It was fairly fun to watch. A lot of those crazy 1%'s that make the game of Rugby so great (that sadly 'professionalism' successfully prevents most of the time).

They weren't as good second half and the Cheetahs defence just outmuscled them in the end.

New stadium looks great!

Good start so far.

Reds were brilliant last night. Good to have 2 Aussie teams playing so well.

Funny how the Reds Facebook fan numbers grew in the offseason, isn't it? http://ca.socialnumbers.com/page/Queensland_Reds-282471695235/

Sponsors won't be best pleased to know their 'reach' has been falsified...

What a hit by Ranger.

Come on Reds.

Carn the Reds. Wish I was at the game.

Surely Quade has played his way into the Wallabies squad.

That first half was thoroughly entertaining! Rain has kinda killed the second though.
