The powerhouse performance not only earned him a spot in the 2023 World Cup squad but cemented his reputation as one of rugby's rising stars.
Wallabies Comeback Short-Lived
After impressing for Australia A in November, Hooper caught the eye of Joe Schmidt, earning a recall to the Wallabies squad. Despite a stellar showing, it seems Australian fans won't be seeing him in gold again anytime soon.
Exeter Chiefs Snag Another Wallaby
According to The Roar, Hooper will head to the United Kingdom, joining a growing contingent of Aussie talent at Exeter. He'll link up with veteran Scott Sio, who now captains the English Premiership side.
This move not only boosts the Chiefs’ pack but signals yet another blow to Australia's ability to retain top-tier talent.
