SYDNEY : Wallabies flyhalf Quade Cooper played his first meaningful minutes of rugby for more than nine months in Japan at the weekend, while coach Eddie Jones watched two other contenders for the gold number 10 shirt go head-to-head in Melbourne.
Playing alongside his long-time halfback partner Will Genia, Cooper helped Kintetsu to a 19-7 halftime lead as they took a big step towards retaining their place in the top flight for next season."Was nice to be part of the win and continue the journey another week. Felt good physically and clocked my third fastest accelerations in the four years I've been at this club, which is a good sign, and also my second best top speed.
Lolesio clearly thought he had a point to prove to the watching Jones on Sunday when his ACT Brumbies took on Gordon's Melbourne Rebels and shouted out his rival's name after grounding the ball for his second try of the first half. Although he ended up on the losing side, Gordon did his chances of getting a crack at a Wallabies shirt no harm with another impressive performance in his breakout season.
