Quade Cooper speaks out about being 'well known and hated' am, Friday 6 December Related stories. Most popular stories. Thursday 4 November By Will Trafford. So we are ready for everything you can possibly throw at us now. You can't make us feel any worse.
This [is] their way of getting one back," tweeted the man who, before the tournament, told reporters he didn't mind being New Zealand's public enemy number one. The vanquished Wallabies were quick to share their disappointment with their fans after Sunday night's loss to the All Blacks at Eden Park, using their Twitter accounts to tweet their sorrows to the world. Lock James Horwill, who was a late choice to lead the Wallabies through the tournament, was gracious in defeat.
Hard to find words to describe the feeling. The All Blacks were too good and deserved to win. Young teammate James O'Connor couldn't decide if he was speechless or not, such was the depth of his despair. That Richie McCaw stuff, that just turned a whole nation against me.
Question Did you knee him in the head on purpose? The thing is, the stuff that happens on a footy field, that's so small. I've been punched in the head, kneed in the head, all that stuff, but it was who you did it to.
Already, I was a Kiwi boy playing for Australia, so they [were] already hating on me to start with and then I go and knee the captain of the All Blacks, untouchable, in the head.
That's even worse. I couldn't walk anywhere , I couldn't go anywhere. Things like that. I went from being well known to the most well known and the most hated. It was crazy. I was basically I had no protection from the ARU, from the coaches, no one came out and protected me, except for my nanna. To come back to that same level I was brought back too early. I was limping around on one leg, my leg was like a toothpick, there was no muscle on it so there's no control on it, and I had no confidence.
I didn't step off it for two years. Now I've got no issues with it but going back then I shouldn't have been playing. Same with the Richie, I was trying so hard to block it out. People say 'do you just block it out, the boos and things like that' and you say 'yeah I can't even hear it'. When you're on the field, that stuff is so clear, people don't realise it. If someone yells out something in the crowd, they might be in row and you hear it dead clear.
A lot of these guys were not playing or on the bench, or they were still playing and they wanted the say, but the majority of the guys were our age and we'd come through winning the comp.
