Report: John Cooney Could Line Out for Scotland Rugby World Cup

Reports today propose that Ulster and Ireland scrum-half John Cooney could be selected by Scotland for next year’s Rugby World Cup.

Despite being one of the most consistent players in the republic over the last few years, John Cooney has only won 11 caps for Ireland, with the last of those coming in February 2020 against England.

Before the Covid-19 pandemic, Cooney was debatably the in-form player in Ireland and was tipped to take the place of Conor Murray. However, a drop in form and appearance of players in the scrum-half position has seen him fall behind the likes of Murray, Jamison Gibson-Park, and Craig Casey.

John Cooney Could Line Out for Scotland Rugby World Cup.

With chances of another Ireland call-up appearance unlikely, a report in this morning's Daily Mail by Rory Keane suggests he could line out for Scotland, who are in Ireland’s group in next year’s tournament. John Cooney’s father is from Scotland, and under World Rugby strategies, he would be eligible for Scotland as he would not have played for Ireland in over three years.

At 32 years old, this would be John Cooney’s last chance of arrival at a World Cup, having missed out on selection in 2019. Since joining Ulster in 2017, John Cooney has scored over 800 points for the area but has never been a major part of the international setup under Joe Schmidt or Andy Farrell. John Cooney’s accuracy from the kicking tee and knowledge would make him a valuable asset for any team to have.

 In Scotland, he would have to contest against the likes of Ali Price and George Horne for a place in the twenty-three this would not be a first in the rugby world for a performer to switch to a different national side since the introduction of this rule. Munster center Malakai Fekitoa and former Ulster full-back Charles Piutau now line out for Tonga below the rule of World Rugby, despite previous knowledge with the All Blacks.
