In the Sunday Mail Jim Tucker lauds another spell-binding display by Quade Cooper and says the fly-half wizard has a particular feeling for flooring South African sides.
"Quade Cooper could happily tease and topple South African sides every week for the rest of the year because his ad-lib brilliance seems to mesmerise the men from the republic more than any other side.
"Last night's decisive display in the clearcut 39-20 victory over the Springboks in Sydney followed his sparkling showings in the eight wins from nine starts that Queensland have racked up against South African opponents in 2010-11.
"The way Cooper plays the game can never be charted on paper as predictable patterns. He doesn't know what is coming next, so how can South African players?
"It was not the perfect night from Cooper. There was a knock-on and a pass into touch but his upbeat return to the Wallabies jersey doubled the potency of the attack."
