No Cooper in Brisbane Global Rugby Tens ?
Queensland Reds Quade Cooper

The Queensland Reds will field four Wallabies at this weeks inaugural Brisbane Global Rugby Tens but returning star Quade Cooper will not be among them.

Cooper has been left out of the Reds' 26‑man squad.

Wallabies captain Stephen Moore, Scott Higginbotham, Kane Douglas and Nick Frisby were also excluded while George Smith and Hendrik Tui are completing their club duties in the Japanese Top League.

However, the Reds have named Test regulars James Slipper, Rob Simmons and Samu Kerevi, as well as Leroy Houston, who made his debut for Australia last year.

Retired great Chris Latham is their wildcard selection, while former Brisbane NRL player Lachlan Maranta is in the mix for his first appearance in a Reds jersey.

The Reds are pooled with the Blues, Crusaders and Samoa.

Their first game is against the Blues at 2.56pm Saturday.
