Unwanted Cooper fires shots at Brad Thorn

Quade Cooper appears to have thrown a verbal jab at his former coach Brad Thorn after posting a series of identical posts to his social media platforms seemingly directed at the former All Black.

Cooper shared a picture of him fending off Thorn during the Wallabies' 2011 Rugby World Cup semi‑final against the All Blacks.

He also added the caption: "Sometimes you are forced out of the place you love but thank god there’s more than one place that loves me."

Cooper was effectively axed from the Queensland Reds by Thorn for this year's Super Rugby competition.

Despite being shown the door, the 70‑Test Wallaby still earned his reported AU$650,000 annual salary by playing club rugby.

Since his Reds debut in 2006, Cooper has earned 119 caps for the Queensland club and was part of their triumphant 2011 season when they captured the Super Rugby title.

The Tokoroa‑born star is reportedly linked to a deal with the Melbourne Rebels for the 2019 Super Rugby season.
