SYDNEY : Wallabies centre Samu Kerevi played his first 23 minutes of competitive rugby in nine months at the weekend in a boost for Australia coach Eddie Jones ahead of the Rugby Championship and World Cup.

Jones, who remains a consultant at Sungoliath, will not have enjoyed the final result of the bruising semi-final encounter at Tokyo's Prince Chichibu Memorial stadium, with Kerevi's side going out 24-18 at the hands of Kubota Spears. Australia flyhalf Bernard Foley skipped over under the posts for the winning try as Kubota instead went through to play champions Saitama Wild Knights, who progressed on Saturday on the back of a hat-trick from Wallabies winger Marika Koroibete.

Cooper scored a try and looked in fine touch as he and his old Wallabies halfback partner Will Genia helped Hanazono cement their place in the top flight with a 56-21 drubbing of Urayasu in the second leg of their relegation playoff in Osaka.
