Lots of speculation about where Michael Hooper will land after the Rugby World Cup in France at the end of the year.

The Waratahs seem to be off the agenda with big contracts in France and Japan also in the conversation as well as a crack at the national sevens teams with the Olympics in Paris looming.

But the Mount Everest of all for a young man who grew up on the northern beaches is beating Warringah in the big derby and I’m hearing that the feelers are out if he’s in Sydney.
