SYDNEY (AP) Wallaby Quade Cooper is in line for his rugby sevens debut after being named in the 12-man Australia squad for the Las Vegas Sevens next week.
The 58-test flyhalf has previously trained with the squad for two sessions ahead of the Sydney Sevens this month.
Coach Andy Friend said Friday, ''Having had a few training sessions with the squad earlier this month ... we'll be in a much better position to utilize his skill-set.''
Australia has been placed in Pool B alongside England, Scotland and Japan for the Las Vegas tournament from March 4-6.
