Quade Cooper: 'Check me out on ScrumoftheEarth this week!'
Cripes, the Wallabies nearly had a shocker...Quade Cooper saved Australia's blushes with a debut try eight minutes from time to see off the gritty Italians. With the scores locked at 20 apiece, the New Zealand-born 20-year-old's quick step danced through a busy crowd to seal a unflattering victory.
Sounds like quite an eventful match?It wasn't one of the weekend's finest but there's something endearing about watching Italy mix it with world rugby's big boys. Lachie Turner and Mirco Begamasco shared earlier tries while pocket-rocket Matt Giteau's booming left boot kicked 17 points for the Wallabies.
