FLANKER Michael Hooper has replaced Stephen Moore as captain of the Wallabies after the veteran hooker elected to step down ahead of his retirement from international rugby at the end of the season.
Hooper would lead the rebuilding team into back-to-back tests against the All Blacks when the southern hemisphere’s Rugby Championship kicks off later this month and then onto the 2019 World Cup in Japan, his coach Michael Cheika said.
The abrasive back rower has long been groomed to step up to the role, having led the side throughout the 2014 season when Moore was injured and twice during the recent June internationals when the hooker was benched.
In 2014
Men's Mizuno Wave Prophecy 5 Blue Best , as a raw 22-year-old, he became the youngest Wallabies captain after Ken Catchpole and guided the team to a whitewash victory over France in his first series in charge.
Now 25, Hooper has 68 tests to his credit and played a key role in Australia’s run to the 2015 World Cup final against New Zealand when he and fellow openside flanker David Pocock teamed up in a powerful back-row combination.
“It’s a huge honor to step into this role,” Hooper said in Sydney yesterday. “I’ve learnt a lot from Stephen... Having him for the next four months is so critical for the team and so helpful for me.
“I’m so excited about learning and getting better in this role, there’s a lot of good times ahead.”
Hooper will lead the Wallabies during a tough period for Australian rugby and faces a baptism of fire against an world champion All Blacks side smarting from being held to a draw in their recent series against the British and Irish Lions.
The teams meet in Sydney on August 19

Australia’s provincial teams were unable to win a single match against New Zealand opponents during the Super Rugby season, while the Wallabies drew scathing criticism for their performances during the June internationals.
After overcoming Fiji, they lost at home to Scotland and suffered a huge scare against lowly Italy.
Hooper’s fitness to captain the Wallabies will also be questioned in some quarters, with former skipper Pocock set to return to the national setup next year after taking a year-long sabbatical.
Pocock could put pressure on Hooper’s hold over the starting No. 7 jersey and is seen by some pundits as the ideal man to lead the Wallabies to Japan.
Cheika, however
Women's Mizuno Wave Prophecy 5 Black Cheapest , saw no conflict in managing the two opensides. “It’s not like those two guys haven’t been in the same squad before. Right now David’s having time off. He’ll have to come back in, earn his stripes, get himself back in the side. I don’t see any type of issue with the combination of players, whatsoever.”

THE HAGUE, Dec. 19 (Xinhua) -- The Dutch government has not been in real danger of falling during the past crisis over a health care law, Prime Minister Mark Rutte said on Friday during a press conference after the last meeting of the Council of Ministers this year.
"It's a very complex political problem, but you have seen that the political will to get a solution was great," Rutte said. "We have found a solution in which all parties can identify themselves."
The Dutch government parties VVD (Liberals) and PvdA (Labor) got into a sudden and unexpected crisis on Tuesday afternoon after three PvdA members of the senate blocked a new health care law by VVD current Minister of Health

As a consequence the health insurance reforms did not get a majority in the senate, while the law already had a majority vote in the House of Representatives.
After intensive talks the government parties reached a deal on Thursday night on submitting an adjusted new health care law, of which they hope it will be approved by the senate this time.
The prime minister did not want to elaborate on what would happen if the new bill to be rejected again.
