Quade Cooper has been cleared of a concussion sustained last weekend and will suit up to face the Bulls in a crucial Super Rugby clash this weekend.

The half failed to finish the Rebels last clash against the Reds, but has passed a fitness test this week.

In a further boost to the Rebels chances of tackling the Bulls, Matt Toomua will play his first game of the season for the franchise, having arrived in Melbourne earlier this week after a stint playing in England with Leicester.

The Waratahs have made three changes to their side ahead of a derby clash with the Reds. Tom Robertson, Adam Ashley-Cooper and Lachlan Swinton all move into Daryl Gibson’s first XV, with Robertson making his first start of the season after a long injury layoff.

Queensland have meanwhile named New Zealander Matt McGahan to make his Super Rugby debut at fullback. That’s one of two changes to the Reds XV, with Lukhan Salakaia-Loto being promoted to the starting line-up at No.6.

Angus Scott-Young moves across to No.8, while Scott Higginbotham moves to the bench.

The Hurricanes have also named their side, with Beauden Barrett sitting out due to All Blacks enforced rest ahead of the World Cup.

James Marshall takes his spot, while the other chance to their starting side sees Du’Plessis Kirifi play in the number seven jumper for Reed Prinsep, with Ardie Savea moving to number eight.
