Wallabies fly half Quade Cooper will be free to play at next year's inaugural Olympic Sevens tournament in Rio after re‑negotiating his original contract with European champions Toulon.
The 27‑year‑old apologized to Toulon fans for the extended negotiations that even last week appeared compromised because of doubts about his international future.
Australia's selection rules only allow foreign‑based players to be chosen if they have 60 caps.
Cooper has 58 but made only one World Cup appearance because of the hot form of Bernard Foley.
Cooper will join Australian World Cup finalists Matt Giteau and Drew Mitchell in the three‑time European Cup winners' multi‑national squad.
