Coops inside their head

In the Daily Telegraph Mark Reason looks into the fued between Quade Cooper and the whole of New Zealand

"Quade Cooper is as popular in New Zealand as a possum. People drive hundreds of miles to Australia games just to boo him. The talk radio switchboards jam whenever Cooper is discussed. The Australian fly-half is the man who unites New Zealand.

"All of which is rather curious because, unlike the possum, Quade Cooper is an indigenous New Zealand mammal. He grew up in Tokoroa, a nondescript timber town on the New Zealand North Island. Not a lot seems to happen there other than the breeding of extraordinary rugby players."
