Quade Cooper is unlikely to feature in all four end of year Tests, with the club and country issue resurfacing. While the Wallabies named Cooper, as well as fellow Japanese-based stars Samu Kerevi and Sean McMahon, in their end of year spring tour last week, it is no fait accompli they will all tour to the United Kingdom.

McMahon, who left immediately after The Rugby Championship to re-join his family in Japan, will miss the match after being granted permission to leave their bubble.

  Concerns have been raised over the future of rugby in Wales, with the Welsh Rugby Union's move to secure a commercial loan to help the regions survive the Covid-19 pandemic described as 'inexplicable'. The national side has enjoyed a relatively successful period, winning two of the last three Six Nations championships and reaching the semi-final of a World Cup. However, the regions have not reached the post-season of their domestic league since the Scarlets were beaten finalists in 2018, the community WRU v NZ Rugby Game faces severe challenges and the women's game is in turmoil.The most recent weekend of action was concerning.
