With only one day to go before the Rebels face the Brumbies in their Super Rugby season opener Quade Cooper has earned some more fans following an incident in Melbourne.
Cooper, who is set to start at fly-half in his debut for the Rebels, was spotted passing by a homeless man in the streets of Melbourne, where he went on to perform a true act of kindness.
Cooper walked into the store that the man was outside and when he returned, he had some food and a drink for the man.
One of his trainers, “Coach Sunz” was on hand to film everything and spoke of his respect for Cooper’s act.

After Cooper’s kind act people where full of praise for him and will be hoping he is repaid with a strong showing alongside half-back partner Will Genia when they take to the field tomorrow.
We’re looking forward to seeing Quade back in Super Rugby action, check out this montage:
