The Reds Waikato-born playmaker Quade Cooper knows the value of learning from mistakes and has vowed to continue that by burying the nightmare of previous Super 14 shockers against the Chiefs.
He says he's been guilty of placing undue pressure on himself to star against the team he supported before leaving for Brisbane at 14 and won't fall into the same trap on Friday night in Hamilton.
Cooper has has played his childhood province three times for three losses and his first, in 2007 as an 18-year-old, featured so many blunders someone compiled them and made a You Tube clip with a Benny Hill theme as the backing track.
But the first-five is showing career-best form after being cleared to play following burglary charges in December.
