Despite being 38 years of age, Quade Cooper has thrown his hat into the ring to be considered as an option at flyhalf for the Wallabies ahead of the 2027 Rugby World Cup.
Joe Schmidt believes the Wallabies have taken significant strides during his two-and-a-half years in charge, despite ending his tenure with a modest win record as Australia's head coach.
Australia record their first victory in the Nations Championship with a comfortable win over Italy in Perth, France were too good for Japan in Tokyo while Scotland beat Fiji at Murrayfield.
France produced a superb second-half performance to overturn a nine-point halftime deficit and beat Australia 42-26 in their Nations Championship clash at Suncorp Stadium in Brisbane.
Australia's Ben Donaldson missed a late penalty as Ireland narrowly beat the hosts 33-31 in their Nations Championship encounter at the Allianz Stadium in Sydney on Saturday.
Former Wallabies star Will Genia reckons Manie Libbok has added a new dimension to his game, emerging from his season in Japan as a more vocal and confident on-field leader.
