Beale and Lolesio to join Wallabies for Spring tour

Kurtley Beale and Noah Lolesio will be joining the Wallabies squad for their upcoming Spring Tour but the international future of Quade Cooper is in doubt after the star flyhalf opted to return to his Japanese club.

Cooper has joined Samu Kerevi and Sean McMahon in withdrawing from the Wallabies' squad in a move that has left Rugby Australia fuming.

Wallabies coach Dave Rennie had thrown all three players an international lifeline on the understanding they would be available for the upcoming Tests against Scotland, England and Wales.

Rugby Australia had relaxed its eligibility rules for this year to allow Rennie to select a number of the country's overseas-based stars.

In international test matches this week, Scotland will face Tonga at 1.30am tomorrow and the All Blacks meet Wales at 4.15am tomorrow.
