Controversial Cooper loving the experience

QUADE COOPER may be viewed as public enemy number one in New Zealand but the Australia fly-half insists he is still enjoying the World Cup.

Cooper has failed to endear himself to the Kiwi public because of his running on-pitch battle with All Blacks skipper Richie McCaw and the fact he was born in Tokoroa on the North Island.

But even the Wallabies’ eventful World Cup — they have been heavily hit by injuries and only finished runners up in Pool C — has failed to dampen his spirits.
