Twenty Questions with Qantas Wallabies fullback Adam Ashley-Cooper
August 14, 2008 - 2:54pm
Story by: ARU
He’s the livewire in the Qantas Wallabies back three, cutting defences to shreds with his scything runs from the back. But Adam Ashley-Cooper is just as lively off the field with his big smile, infectious laugh and reputation for practical jokes. We sought him out for our Twenty Questions, EXCLUSIVE to rugby.com.au
