Cooper's previous good disciplinary record was one factor taken into consideration, but the 22-year-old will now miss next Saturday's match against New Zealand in Melbourne and the 7 August Bledisloe Cup test in Christchurch following his spear tackle on opposite number Morne Steyn, for which he was sin-binned.
If playing out of position in a Test match for the first time was not enough to worry about, Jones' opposite number will be none other than Serge Betsen.
