MELBOURNE - Veteran 38-year-old Wallabies playmaker Quade Cooper says he never retired and is eyeing a comeback for next year's World Cup on home soil. But Cooper, who was a shock omission by then-coach Eddie Jones from Australia's 2023 World Cup squad, told The Australian newspaper on Saturday he was not done. I mean, who wouldn't be, it's a home World Cup and I still know I can play. "The first two Tests, I've got three 10s that will lead the way for us," Kiss told reporters. Cooper is not the only experienced player eyeing a return for the World Cup.
