Cooper speaks about Wallaby attack

Flyhalf Quade Cooper has weighed in on the preparation of the Wallabies ahead of the first test against the All Blacks in the 2013 Rugby Championship tournament.

Cooper explained that Ewen McKenzie and attacking coach  Jim McKay’s attacking mindset and structures have filtered into the Wallaby squad with ease, and that the team is training well in anticipation for the big clash.

“[Jim McKay] has a great attacking mind-set and loves the game,” said Cooper. “He’s very passionate about attacking and going out there and expressing yourself”.

Cooper also elaborated, saying that all parts of the team have input into the way that they want to play and can contribute ideas around the team.

“[McKay] never shuts down any idea from any player, no matter what position you play, if you have an idea, he’s always got an open mind to sit there and listen and take in everything you have to offer.”

Australia will meet the All Blacks on 17 August 2013 at ANZ Stadium, Sydney. Kick-off is at 12:05 (SA, GMT+2).
