  Cooper is devastating , he is the best by far if he plays like this. Hell what a runner with the ball.

  The gates opened for the Blues to walk in. When that hooter went the Reds stopped playing, so stupid. Last time they had a 24 nil lead. They could have had 23 nil if Cooper had his right boots on.

  Second half will be a thriller

  Afternoon all.

  Just logged on to see what’s happening.

  How was the game, exciting or normal knock out Rugby with no one taking chances?

  Well done Reds. Looks like the Mountain Goats will have to travel across the pond then. Good competition for them to win.

  @ Scrumdown:
  Scrumdown no ways this was a special display by Cooper and his Reds, they ran, ran , ran . The Blues too but the individual brilliance of Quade was too much too handle

  McKenzie had this to say after the match

  The Blues asked some questions, scoring just before half-time to trail 15-7 at the break. But the mesmerising Quade Cooper had more than enough answers, spinning a tale of magic as he set up two tries and made up for an ordinary night with the boot (three from seven).

  It was a Cooper masterclass and backed up McKenzie’s belief that the bigger the stage, the bigger the show. The performance should have Wallabies fans licking their lips in anticipation of the World Cup.

  “I’m not going to take a lot of coaching credit. It’s pure Quade,” McKenzie said. “I’m still trying to work out how he set up [Ben] Tapuai’s try. He was everywhere. The bigger the stage, the more he likes it.”
