Cooper banned from pub

Sydney - Wallabies star Quade Cooper has been banned from a popular southeast Queensland pub after an alleged altercation with a female patron.

According to the Stuff.co.nz website, Cooper, 23, has been banned from visiting the Stradbroke Island Beach Hotel for six months, the Seven Network reported.

Cooper was reportedly evicted along with Reds' team-mates after an altercation with a woman at the bar.

The rugby star's split with former girlfriend, swimmer Stephanie Rice, was made public last week.

Publican Michael Jackson said the hotel had one rule for everyone when it came to behaviour.

"It doesn't matter who you are (or) how much money you're going to spend here," he said.

"If you play up, it's not on and you won't be back."

The Reds issued a statement saying Cooper's alleged actions didn't warrant official disciplinary action.
