Quade Cooper sidelined with knee Injury

There is officially no chance Quade Cooper could be a shock inclusion in Michael Cheika's Wallaby squad to face Ireland after suffering an MCL injury in a Brisbane club match this past weekend.

Cooper is set to be sidelined for the next three to four weeks. 

Unwanted by Queensland Reds coach Brad Thorn, Cooper has been plying his trade for club Souths this year, despite warnings from the Wallabies coaching staff that he won't be considered for selection unless he is playing Super Rugby.

Cooper has reportedly turned down offers from other Australian Super Rugby sides including the Brumbies and Rebels and other interest abroad. 

Suffered an MCL injury in our victory over UQ on the weekend and will be sidelined for the next 3-4 weeks.. gutted to be out of action for the next little bit as I’ve been enjoying my rugby so much but as we know injuries are part of the game.
