The Australian Rugby Union will wait until after the end of the Rugby Championship to try to solve its dispute with five-eighth Quade Cooper.

ARU chief executive John O’Neill said after several days of drama surrounding Cooper’s attack on the culture of the Australian rugby team, it was necessary to have a cooling off period.

While Cooper has signed a contract with the Reds, he is still in negotiations with the ARU.

Cooper will be unable to play for the Reds next season if he does not have an ARU contract.

Australia will play Argentina at 10.10am this Sunday.
