Brilliant, mesmerising, fleet footed and creative are all words that are used to describe Quade Cooper but there's just as many that will point to his defence and raise questions about the solidity of it.
His long-running feud with Richie McCaw made him public enemy number one in New Zealand in the years around the 2011 World Cup.

Australia take on Ireland this weekend in the Aviva Stadium in the November Internationals and the Wallaby squad landed in Dublin this week in preparation for the game.
