Reece Hodge is in doubt for the UK leg of the Wallabies' spring tour but coach Dave Rennie has confirmed Quade Cooper will feature after discussions with his Japanese club.

Hodge lasted only 13 minutes of Australia's 32-23 tour-opening win over Japan in Oita last night after sustaining a muscle injury.

Rennie is sweating on scans and said while Hodge will still fly to London with the squad, the utility back is no certainty to play against either Scotland, England or Wales.

Meanwhile, the All Blacks crushed USA 104-14 this morning.
