Zapping World Fifteen Interview Remi Bonfils: Captain in the French team?
In 2021, the Wallabies saw the return of one of their big stars, who returned after several years of absence: Quade Cooper. Since then, the international opener has returned to the franchise where he was already playing during the 2020-2021 season: the Japanese club Hanazono Kintetsu Liners.
But recently, we saw Quade Cooper with the jersey of a completely different franchise, in a completely different country than Japan. Indeed, the Australian star was spotted training for an American team, the Los Angeles Giltinis. Quite a change of scenery!
But no, Quade Cooper is not going to commit to the Californian club, champion of Major League Rugby in 2021. According to information from Rugbypass, just participated in team training, and took the opportunity to visit their training facility located in El Segundo, Los Angeles County.
As for Quade Cooper’s international career, he did not take part in the November 2021 tests with the Wallabies, being retained in Japan. But with the selection rules relaxed, it would not be impossible to see him again this summer.

to summarize
Quade Cooper, who we recently saw in the Australian team, is currently playing for a Japanese club. But he surprised everyone by appearing in training for a franchise on another continent.
