BRISBANE, Australia (AP) — Cooper vs. Carter. Already the contest between flyhalves which will illuminate Saturday's Super 15 rugby final between the Queensland Reds and Canterbury Crusaders, and maybe decide it, has the ring of one of sport's great head-to-heads.
The competition between the Crusaders' Daniel Carter and the Reds' Quade Cooper has all of the qualities which cause an individual contest within a team sport to loom out of the compelling background of the match itself. It's as a game within a game.
Saturday's match pits the two most exciting and constructive flyhalves in world rugby against each other and may decide, in a foretaste of this year's World Cup, which may be called the world's best.
