QUEENSLAND Reds and Wallaby rugby union star Quade Cooper has been charged after allegedly robbing a residence on the Gold Coast.
Cooper was released from Southport watchhouse this afternoon, charged with one count of burglary.
A police media spokesman said a 21-year-old man had been charged with one count of burglary of a residence in Surfers Paradise this morning.
He is due to appear in the Southport Magistrates Court on December 11.
Cooper recently returned from a breakthrough Wallaby tour, where he played all four tests in Australia's Grand Slam quest.
A Queensland Rugby Union (QRU) spokesman declined to comment as the matter was before the courts.
Asked if Cooper would be stood down, the QRU spokesman replied: "We've got to establish the full facts of the matter before we can decide what action if any action will be taken."
