Australia rugby union center Quade Cooper, who played all four
tests for the Wallabies on a recent European tour, has been charged
with burglary after allegedly robbing a residence on the Gold
Coast.
Police said Cooper was released from a Southport police station
on Sunday afternoon. A police media spokesman said a 21-year-old
man had been charged with one count of burglary of a residence in
Surfers Paradise on Sunday morning.
He is due to appear in the Southport Magistrates Court on Dec.
11.
A Queensland Rugby Union (QRU) spokesman declined to comment
Sunday because the matter was before the courts.
Asked if Cooper would be suspended, the QRU spokesman replied:
"We've got to establish the full facts of the matter before we can
decide what action if any action will be taken."
Cooper made his international debut against in November 2008,
coming off the bench against Italy and scoring the winning try in a
30-20 Wallabies victory. He has played nine tests for Australia.
