Quade Cooper left fans in stitches with an extraordinary stunt video posted to social media.
The Kiwi-born Wallaby posted a video to his Instagram drilling a rugby ball at someone "wearing a new shirt" holding a tray of coffees across the street.
After closer examination, however, it appeared the stunt was staged, with eagle-eyed fans noticing a blue car in the background suddenly disappearing in between shots.
"How many takes did that take? The blue car parked up suddenly disappears," one fan wrote.
"What I like best about this, Quade is the magic trick you pulled with the blue car," wrote another.

Cooper is yet to respond over being caught-out, but it's unlikely he'll complain in light of the sky-rocketing online fame he's received.
Meanwhile, Cooper recently started his first season with the Kintetsu Liners in Japan's second division rugby competition.
