SYDNEY (Reuters) - Australia flyhalf Quade Cooper has denied agreeing to play for the Barbarians against Samoa in London in late November despite the prestigious invitational British club announcing his selection.

Cooper's test career was revived by a call-up for this year's Rugby Championship and he was lauded for his leadership of the Wallabies backline in four successive wins, including back-to-back victories over world champions South Africa.
