Ashley-Cooper set to take centre stage

He’s been Australia’s “Mr Fix It” for many seasons, but now Wallabies back Adam Ashley-Cooper is ready to face the might of the Lions from his preferred position.

The former ACT Brumbies speedster has suffered with the “utility” label throughout his career but has settled into his preferred number 13 shirt this season.

Having represented his country at centre, wing and full back throughout his illustrious 77-cap career, Ashley-Cooper has been allowed to flourish at outside centre for the New South Wales Waratahs, under the tutelage of Michael Cheika, this season.
