First-five Quade Cooper appears to be back looking for a spot in the Wallabies’ 2019 Rugby World Cup squad.

Newshub reports, Cooper reportedly joined Michael Cheika’s team in Sydney during their week-long conditioning camp.

His appearance was mainly for the purposes of a medical check, but indicates he’s back in the selectors’ plans for what shapes as a pivotal year.
