Interview with Quade Cooper's whanau in Brisbane Marae Investigates 2 Oct 2011 TVNZ.mpg

[@treboratat]

mother might be fair but she is 100 percent Maori looking, and so is Quade, living in Australia Maori will always acknowledge Maori

[@stjosephwilliams]

Nice guy and loving family, good on ya Quade

[@terenasimons5247]

Just watched Quade get the winning kick for Aussie against South Africa tonight and I cheered more than my Aussie mate. Haven't followed it like I use to and don't know too much about his controversy, but at the end of the day, he's still a kiwi and I'll always cheer for a kiwi doing well, glad to see him on the up again!!!! Great game and great win bro!!!!

[@BEATSbyIROAM]

Quade straight up legend. KIA KAHA bro haters going to hate cause they cant relate. MEAN MAORI MEAN

[@Greg_gregson]

Kevin Jonson oh would you fuck up with your hori maori bullshit. skumbag

[@romananaru6800]

Yeah

[@angelofdeath8529]

Quade was no rugby legend far to inconsistent had he ran for NZL rugby he probably would never have seen an AB jersey Aussie are desperate for all round consistent players they still to hot & cold, lack of depth in their nations game.

[@whoshotya3380]

Much love to your whanau Cooper.

Mom is so sweet. lol.

What a beautiful family ❤️

[@totokirotototokiwaho8679]

Il love to see the bro play for Maori Abz..

[@ieattrollsforbreakfast2973]

He's a legend, what he did with the Reds was awesome to watch, the family should be proud. Good on him.

[@kaipara3539]

Beautiful whanau who have brought up a legend field player!! You will always get haters commenting and it just reflects on what kind of person they truly are and who carry no pride within themselves. I've always adored Quades play out on the field......definately skilled, elite and ticks all the boxes of being one of the best rugby players on the field and he showed it. He maybe wearing a Wallabys jumper and who wouldn't when we as a country, NZ, are the biggest judgemental assholes you could ever come across. The mentality of this country to do with negativity is just sickening. Cheers xox

[@westsfynest]

He still the man!!

Nice family.....shows the other side of the sportsman.. Isnt it easy to forget when you are sledging someone behind their back that they are someones child, someones brother or sister or maybe someones parent themselves. Dosent matter who the person is, they will always have people who love them very much.

All I can say is beautiful people and a beautiful whanau..Mean Maori Mean..Shot Quade Cooper!! 😁

The whole family is such a nice family very down to earth.

Awesome family

[@jarrethcutestory]

"The All Blacks play dirty but they've got a good team". Well done young fella for saying it, you're totally right.

[@h7p10]

He's still an awesome bloke .....

[@treboratat]

telling people they are part this and part that is a real racist way of feeling superior to some one else. what the racist people who are saying this don't understand is that they are not full blooded themselves. The difference is we actually know where we come from we know our own history. We have something they don't, we have a home ground to connect. That my friend is our Whenua our Marae. Quade Cooper and all those other part Maori have these things thats whats makes them Maori.

[@randzsimon]

Chur i didnt like quade but after watchn his whanau talk about him i do now. MEAN MOARI

[@naaneejohn2846]

Whoa, is that a Tokoroa Pirates Jersey Quade's wearing as a junior? Great town to be brought up in back in the day, with soooo many different cultures and awesome people who came from all over the world...because of Kinleith! CHUR BRO! A Tok boy who made it onto the World stage! NEAT ALRIGHT!

[@marijanmanuel6469]

He has done well regardless of what people say. Rather him in the team then against him

[@rotiahikawai4612]

A great Maori Coach once said of those maori that play for other countries. " They take sustainence from their new land. Then they should fight for it. Because thats Maori."

[@juzlookin3020]

Since Quade Cooper met Stephanie Rice.. Both there Careers went downhill..

[@joeaerenga6816]

Quade Cooper the man from a kiwi go hard bro

[@abielhebrew8393]

If Quade came back to New Zealand, he would've been a better rugby player. #Word.

[@cannibalking]

+Sam Stirling definitely

[@abielhebrew8393]

***** That's exactly why he needs to come back to NZ, we would use him a lot better.

[@wattienz]

+Sam Stirling Dont know about that. Yeah he has the maori side step, but he aint the complete article. We all know he is hopeless at tackling,. The Wallabie management couldn't improve on that, so I dont think he would improve if back in NZ. This is a part of the game where you have to be committed at from a young age, and that is defo his archilles heel

[@abielhebrew8393]

wattienz Yeah that's a good point, however, the standard of Rugby Union in NZ is way higher than Australia. And the coaches as well. They would of molded Quade into something better than what Australia had already given him. JS.

[@wattienz]

WOULD have ? You say. Past tense. It is too late to teach old dogs new tricks, although again I agree with you about the standard of coaching in Aussie compared to NZ. How Aussie management placed Cooper out of position and put him on the wing in defence situations was admitting the fact that he is a liability BUT Robbie Deans, a Kiwi coach with a proven pedigree record can be put top of the blame for administering this approach. You can't teach an old dog new tricks. Quade Cooper, along with Kurtley Beale and James OConnor also had temperamental and off-field issues. Its a mind-set. At least in NZ, you do hear about the off-field problems (especially spouse/partner issues) that include Siti Sivivatu, Julian Savea and most recently Fekitoa, and all have not been affected ON the field, so maybe again, there is a gulf in the quality in Management in NZs favour. One thing is for sure.... If ANY player acts out of line in NZ (Guildford for one) they will pay the price and be replaced pronto.

[@SaintCharbelMiracleworker]

"All Blacks play dirty but they got a good team" out of the mouth of babes, truth.

[@Pasisina274]

no matter what hes always going to be a maori boy an as much as the kiwis dont like him its just too bad going to hav to get use to him !

[@taiyonatiare7918]

He’s and Aussie at heart but he’ll go down in history as public enemy number one and honestly that’s an achievement on its own 😂

[@baileygilbert4766]

Dee Nah he is Aussie at heart ❤️ more than a New Zealander to be honest with you, Cause he played for a Australia 🇦🇺 national Rugby team & he sing 🎤 their national anthem so yeah.

[@Pasisina274]

[@djpunk555]

so they live in brisbane or new zealand?

[@baileygilbert4766]

Queensland

[@krysaliyah]

I'm like Quade's mum, Millie. During the RWC 2011 I was embarrassed to be a NZer. Shame on NZ for what they did THROUGHOUT the tournament. Things have settled down a bit now, but can never quite forget how badly Quade was treated by his own in Aotearoa!

[@barrybrown9565]

He was told by a relative that he wouldnt make the all blacks which could b true but we will never really know for sure,wat we do know is that he did make it in australia and that he was good enuf for the reds and the wallabies,he won a super rugby title in 2011 and played very well carving up in the final against the crusaders,but kiwis see going ova to australia and playing for da wallabies as a kiwi and a maori as a huge betrayal which was made worse by quade doing wat he done to richie mc caw kneeing him in the head on purpose and other dirty stuff,that gave kiwi fans a reason to give it to him and they did,but it went on abit too long and the nz fans took it too far,i think now the nz fans have settled down and they need too,dont hold grudges anymore ppl hes a kiwi just wanting to play on the world stage and make sumthng of himself he most probably wudnt of been able to do that in nz too many good players.

[@MrAhuapai]

I thought it was fair enough that crowds got into Quade after his initial stoush with Ritchie. But once was enough, after that it seemed like bad sportsmanship from the NZ fans.. One reason they may of continued ad nauseum was that it did seem to affect his play especially in 2011 at the RWC. He's a good player and reminds a bit of Carlos Spencer.

[@bustarogers9990]

Got to love it how the host calls the 95% white kids with blonde hair and blue eyes Maoris lol. Oh well , whatever floats your boat i spose.

[@rikiwikeepa4684]

Good on him rugby is the winner

[@1987roo]

Mean on the bro...Qld reds molded him into the elite athlete that he is so good on him...and so what if he plays for Australia...can't play for all blacks unless you play for nz based team...I reckon they should pick the nz Maori rugby union team the same way they do in rugby league... As long as your Maori you can put your name forward to be selected ?!? Mean

[@superhoriguy3164]

just a lil note to the peeps who say the nz fans are a bit hard on quade well nz fans of any sport have long memories and wont forget quade doing shit things to their king lol of the all blacks which in my opinion he deserves shit he is from my hometown friend to my cousins kids and i hate him for what he did to richie i dont hate him for his skills or rugby play in general just for those intentional things he did he is not a bad player just shit attitude me thinks and its funi how his lil brother said the all blacks are cheats where does that come from peeps and nz fans hating quade is the same as aussie fans hating richie is it not

[@lopaaione]

No mate, I'm with you on this 1 , I can't for the life of me understand why born and raised kiwis would drastically shift their allegiance to their adopted countries so much in so little time that they would try to hurt the All Blacks captain. I mean I can understand it a wee bit when the boks , frogs and other teams including some wallaby players trying to hurt Richie but Hartley and Cooper both born in Aotearoa ?

[@superhoriguy3164]

Lopaaione T bro there are 3 nz born players in the aussie team lol

[@junior07039612345]

@coopzbro seriously.. why does it bother you that quade kneed richie in the head.. i mean i doesnt bother richie.. so why does it bother you.. clearly has nothing to do with you at all... and it all started when richie kicked quade back in hongkong.. its just the rivalary nothing personal..

plastic maori cooper lol

[@MrWillt100]

I'm one and I don't blame my parents for not passing the language on to me. At school they were caned and strapped for speaking Maori so they didn't want us to go through the same. So what am I supposed to do paint my skin white or slowly trim the outer skin off. Go on you seem to know best how I can become a Maori as you see it. So stop calling the kettle black and think before you speak cause maybe a plastic Maori is just as much a Maori as you. Aye? maybe? aye?
