Queensland Reds five-eighth Quade Cooper's hopes of playing in Saturday night's Super Rugby qualifying final rests with a SANZAR judicial hearing on Monday afternoon.

Cooper was sin-binned and cited for a high tackle on NSW centre Berrick Barnes in the Reds' 32-16 win at Suncorp Stadium on Saturday night.

Following initial consideration by duty judicial officer Nicholas Davidson QC on Sunday, Cooper must front a Monday judicial hearing, held by Paul Tully via video conference at 2pm (AEST).

A SANZAR statement said Cooper was alleged to have contravened Law 10.4 when he tackled Barnes in the 63rd minute, making contact above the line of the shoulders.

cooper has been yellow card and been on report. so its only rite to be punished if he found guilty of high tackle. setting good example to the young and up and coming players. anyway, the rules should not be different to high class players, like cooper.
