Cooper - Good or Great rugby player - discuss.

He'll be right. It takes less than an hour now days.

I even got a DVD of mine.

Did anyone else get the feeling that Cooper's knee injury was inevitable? He's a tremendous athlete, but his footwork is based around massive deceleration.

This isn't a criticism of Cooper as a player or even his style of footwork, just wondering if anyone else got the feeling watching him play that he'd get injured doing a step one day.

Yep, I called it earlier in this thread.

Same with Beale and benji Marshall, jumping then putting those steps on is bound to head to ligament damage town. The deceleration and pressure is unnatural to say the least.
