Quote: Huddersfield1895 "I'm pretty sure Cooper played Rugby League at Springwood State High School. I think he switched to union when he went to a grammar school which only played union.
A wasted talent in union in my opinion.'"
A wasted talent? He won super rugby 2 years ago, named aussie player of the super rugby season the year before. has 38 caps for the national team having just turned 25. His team finished top of the Aussie standing last season, 3rd overall, they are 4th overall this season. in 2011 they were the top over all team.
Quade Cooper is not a wasted talent, he is a leading star in Rugby Union. He has fallen out with the Australia coach, meaning he hasnt been selected, nothing to do with his ability.
He would also be a top Rugby League player if he were to switch, but suggesting anything other than him being a top Union player is incorrect.
