'He's grown up, he's matured and is desperate for another opportunity.' 👏 9WWOS StanSportAU
Quade Cooper of the Wallabies looks on from the bench at Eden Park.
The mercurial five-eighth now plays club rugby in Japan but will find space and opportunities much harder to come by against the notoriously stingy South Africa defence."And that's really important for us. He gives us balance. A really smart kicking game and a quality skillset and then, the experience. If we just get into a straight arm wrestle with the Boks, they're tough to beat.
"He's earned the opportunity and as I said, we're picking on what we know and what we see. He certainly deserves it."Rennie also reflected on his own experiences coaching against Cooper in Super Rugby with the Chiefs.
