Wallabies No.10 Quade Cooper has confirmed he's spoken with Sonny Bill Williams about a move to rugby league, saying it would be a "massive achievement" to play alongside the dual international.
Williams sent shockwaves through the Australian rugby community earlier in the week when he revealed he’d been trying to convince Cooper to switch to the 13-man game.
While admitting be could be interested in an NRL stint, Cooper said such a move would be more about playing alongside Williams rather than testing himself against the best in rugby league.
"We’ve definitely had a chat about it and it’s more about playing with each other," Cooper told Fox Sports.
"It’s something that I’d really like to do in the future.
"And seeing what he’s (Williams) done in rugby, and having a talent like that in and around you would be a massive achievement to play with.
"Whether it’d be in rugby or league it’d be something that I’d definitely be open-minded about."
There has been ongoing uncertainty surrounding Cooper’s future with the Queensland Reds star still to finalise his top-up deal with the Australian Rugby Union.
