Wallabies coach Michael Cheika says Quade Cooper's career revival at the Melbourne Rebels has seen him rocket into "strong contention" for an international recall.
Cooper has 70 international caps to his name but hasn't worn the yellow jersey since mid‑2017 ‑ a drought Cheika says could end if he continues to perform alongside Wallabies halfback Will Genia at the undefeated Rebels.
The 30‑year‑old first‑five was dumped by Brad Thorn at the Reds last year and was forced to play club rugby until he was signed by the Rebels in the offseason.
