SYDNEY : Michael Hooper and James Slipper will be the first co-captains of the Wallabies after coach Eddie Jones named the pair as the leaders of his team for the Rugby Championship and World Cup later this year.
Prop Slipper, who has won 127 caps for his country, stepped up to replace Hooper after his departure.

The former England coach has also been given approval by Rugby Australia to utilise five overseas-based players for the Rugby Championship, instead of the usual three.
