A compilation of Quade Cooper’s best skills proves that he is easily one of the most disrespected rugby players of his generation.
In a minute long video posted on Youtube, it showcased some of Cooper’s most dazzling skills from his time with the likes of the Wallabies.
One fan wrote: “Had the pleasure of meeting him in Queensland a few years back. Such a down-to-Earth and humble man, will always be amongst my favourite all time footie players!”
“Quade plays like a Maori playmaker – mercurial, supreme skills, daring, precociousness, cheekiness – Carlos Spencer(union), Benji Marshall (League), Remus Gentles (touch) were all similar,” a second added.
A third commented: “Saw him live against wales in an autumn international. Slagged him off before hand saying how he’s an absolute liability only for him to absolutely rip us apart.”
All Blacks legend Sonny Bill Williams ranked Cooper as one of the best rugby players of all-time when ranking his top ruggers.
The likes of Dan Carter and Richie McCaw both missed out on SBW’s top five.

Williams said: “You just have to watch some of his highlights videos on the football field to realise what a talent he is. He’s another guy who can just create something out of nothing and I don’t think gets the credit he deserves.”
