Quade, Rennie to meet as NSW weigh up Latu return | geerob
Quade Cooper will meet with Dave Rennie this week as the Wallabies coach prepares to name his squad to take on England, as the Waratahs weigh up whether to throw troubled hooker Tolu Latu a lifeline.
Cooper returned to Japanese club Kintetsu, where he plays alongside former Wallaby Will Genia, and last month led them to the division two title, winning promotion to Japan’s League One competition. “We have some really good examples where players have come to the Waratahs under some sort of challenging circumstances.”Meanwhile, a homecoming for Latu is on the cards, with his old club the Waratahs set to throw the 21-Test hooker a lifeline, subject to board approval.
The move would require the approval of both RA and NSW boards, but seems likely to happen. The Waratahs have hookers Dave Porecki and Mahe Vailanu on their books, but Latu would add international class to the squad.“I just think if Tolu Latu wants to come back, that’s the beautiful thing about sport, it’s got a number of redemption stories in it,” Marinos said.
