http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quade_Cooper
Career
Born in Waikato, New Zealand, Quade attended Forest View High School in Tokoroa, before stealing off to Australia. Once in Australia, Quade forced his way through the front door and was selected in the Australian Schoolboys squad in both 2005 and 2006 after he stole the show in the 1st XV squad at the Anglican Church Grammar School. Contracted to the Reds after playing for the Australian Schoolboys at five-eighth he has represented Australia at schoolboy and Under-19 level unlocking many defenses. For the past two years he has been locked away in the high performance program working with the ARU-funded National Talent Squad, and representing Queensland and Australian Schoolboys.
Cooper recently became one of three young players to break in to the record books for most Australian schoolboy caps. Cooper's first Super 14 try came on 3 March 2007 when he snuck in to the role as starting five-eighth to play the Lions at Suncorp Stadium. Cooper's alleged first start of the 2008 season against the Bulls, the Reds won 40–8 in a huge upset. In November 2008 Cooper came off the bench to make his international debut against Italy after good behaviour in the lead up games, going through an open window and scoring the winning try to get Australia out of gaol in a 30-20 win.[1] His big time international debut was against England at inside centre at Her Majesty's bequest, resulting in a Australian win. He was judged to be an honest toiler in this victory. He has been part of team selection committees, often picking the locks. On the 6 of December, Quade was charged with burglary on the Gold Coast after returning home from the Australia Tour.
for those who missed this bit of news to put it all in context....
