Quade Cooper not an Aussie . . .

Check out this article which talks about Quade Cooper's participation in the Rio Olympics being in jeopardy because he's not an Aussie citizen! No jokes!

How did he play for the Wallabies for the last few years if this is the case? Maybe Baboon-ou or someone can start up a Facebook campaign demanding that all Wallaby wins over the Springboks where QC was involved should be declared null and void!

LMAO!

Also, does this mean Quade can play for New Zealand at the Olympics? NZ Sevens coach Gordon Tietjens was asked the question and replied: "He's a quality rugby player, he's been very passionate about playing for the Wallabies and I expect him to pass the citizenship test and line up in Rio. It would be unheard of for someone to play for the Wallabies in XVs and then New Zealand in the Sevens. It wouldn't sit right."

It may not sit right but it would be hilarious . . . especially considering the hatred Kiwis have for QC!

Watched that final between Fiji and Oz. Kite surfers dream. Funniest was the boomerang drop-out. Never seen wind affect a game that much. Moz was saying how poor the forward pass from Cooper was...though it was obviously the ridiculous amount of wind that caused the C0ckup. No excuse for dropping the ball on the line though :/

 The Aussies chances in Brazil have just improved.

 Hey Plum I just watched the 7s again while I was on the elliptical. Seriously Cooper gave the Blitsbokke the game with a high tackle and a yellow. Which they then gave back with zero on the clock and a pass into touch and their own high tackle.
Then in the final he was gassed for the first try....wildly fly kicked at the ball and missed for the second Fiji try,  dropped the ball for the third Fiji try....and that pass was forward wind or no wind....it went straight forward out of his hands, and from 2 metres outside the 22, ended 3 metres inside the 22.
You are a generous fellow but I doubt Pooper's Aussie colleagues felt the same way.

 Quade was a strategic kiwi export

 "Quade was a strategic kiwi export"
Sneaky

 Why can't the Cooper brigade just front up and tell what exactly he's done to warrant their opinion of him? It's certainly not the same opinion of the Ozzie rugby public or that of the local coaches at both national and franchise level .

 Denny, we also strategically exported some coaches to SA, would you like another?
Or perhaps you would like one of our refs?

Yep it was hardly a brain drain from NZ to RSA. But the pesky question remains....were there any brains to be drained?  

 Well based on your ass-essment of Rooi,  CleverMike, Beeno & a few other SA posters any kiwi imports into SA would have increased the brain power substantially.

 Well....hahaha....talk about setting a low bar, although I would exempt HasBeen from that comment. 

 South Africa has no worries in the brains department we have more clever people than NZ, unfortunately we have more fools too.

 Mozart, yes it is best if we don't comment on wee Beeno. One must consider him in a "special category" & out of consideration for the less fortunate it is best to exempt them
