MELBOURNE (Reuters) - Being frozen out at the Queensland Reds for a whole season looks to have been a blessing in disguise for former Australia flyhalf Quade Cooper, who rekindled his love for rugby away from the spotlight and found a welcoming home at the Melbourne Rebels.

With rave reviews penned in the wake of his first match for the Rebels, and pundits tipping a third World Cup appearance for Australia's most polarising player, however, the enigmatic 30-year-old may once again find himself thrust into the limelight.
