Quade Cooper’s miserable performance was the only thing Australian rugby fans were talking about after the heavy loss to New Zealand at Eden Park last Saturday.
Cooper was sin‑binned for a second‑half high tackle in their 41‑13 thumping.
Although he has been highly scrutinised for his recent performances, the fly half says he is ready to start for the Wallabies in the Rugby World Cup.
The ‘Cooper Blooper’ headlines were everywhere after the match on Saturday but Quade Cooper says everyone makes mistakes.
The Wallabies will face stiff competition from Fiji, Wales and host England in next month’s World Cup.
England will host the Flying Fijians at 7am on the 19th of next month in the Rugby World Cup Opening match.
The Wallabies World Cup squad will be named on Friday.
Possible Wallabies Rugby World Cup squad: Israel Folau, Adam Ashley‑Cooper, Rob Horne, Drew Mitchell, Henry Speight, Tevita Kuridrani, Matt Giteau, Matt Toomua, Kurtley Beale, Bernard Foley, Quade Cooper, Nick Phipps, Nic White, Will Genia, Wycliff Palu, Ben McCalman, Michael Hooper, David Pocock, Scott Fardy, Dean Mumm, Rob Simmons, Will Skelton, Kane Douglas, James Slipper, Sekope Kepu, Scott Sio, Greg Holmes, Tetera Faulkner, Stephen Moore (capt), Tatafu Polota‑Nau, James Hanson.
