A mentally and physically revitalised Michael Hooper has changed his tune and says he's ready to resume the Wallabies captaincy if he's asked.
In what will be music to Eddie Jones' ears, Hooper says he'd be open to leading Australia to the 2023 Rugby World Cup if the new coach comes knocking.
It was only less than seven months ago fans feared the champion flanker may have played his last Test after dramatically leaving the Australian camp in Argentina on match eve to take a mental health break.
