Jim Tucker, writing for the Courier Mail, looks at the spat between Quade Cooper and Richie McCaw.
"A relieved Quade Cooper has escaped suspension for kneeing Richie McCaw in the head but their 10-month niggle-fest will fester all the way to a potential World Cup final blow-up.
The Wallabies camp held real fears that Cooper would be rubbed out for the World Cup opener against Italy on September 11 when he fronted a SANZAR judiciary yesterday.
His right knee clearly came in contact with the All Blacks skipper's head in the 55th minute of Saturday night's pulsating 25-20 victory at Suncorp Stadium."
