Munster's beautiful deed for young boy with cancer

As Mitchell Moses insisted the Kangaroos players set to go game-less on the Ashes tour weren't moping about it, Cameron Munster did a beautiful deed for a child with brain cancer he spotted watching training.

Australia on Thursday had its first training session back following a few days off in Scotland ahead of the third and final Test, to be played in Leeds on Sunday morning (AEDT).

Kevin Walters' team will be vying for a 3-0 whitewash of the first Ashes series since 2003, after winning the opening Test 26-6 and the second 14-4.

Of the 24-strong touring squad, six won't get any game time: Moses, Bradman Best, Ethan Strange, Blayke Brailey, Jacob Preston and Dylan Edwards.

Walters explained that although he'd "like to reward the extended squad for their outstanding efforts on tour", he felt "the players who have got the job done deserve to play in Leeds".

Moses was asked by 9News' Danny Weidler at Thursday's training session how he felt about not getting a game.

"I don't think it's hard at all. It's hard if you want to make it [hard]," Moses said.

"You can go there and kick stones and sook and not prep the boys to the best or be really selfish and not put the team first, or you can do [it] how we've done it."

Munster spotted a young boy in a wheelchair watching the Kangaroos' Thursday training session.

So the superstar five-eighth went to greet him, as did hulking prop Keaon Koloamatangi.

The young boy, Isaac, has brain cancer.

Prior to going to watch Australia train, he was at hospital undergoing chemotherapy.

"He just asked about Isaac," Isaac's carer told 9News.

"He asked a few questions, asked if we were coming to the game.

"I said we couldn't get tickets, so he's just gone to see if they can sort some tickets for the weekend."

And Munster isn't the only Australian player looking out for those less fortunate on the Ashes tour.

"There's actually a lot of the boys that are looking to give out some of their gear to some of the homeless that we've seen around [in] Leeds and others places," Tino Fa'asuamaleaui told 9News.

"There's a lot of boys thinking about the people out there. When you're walking the streets and having a good time and going out to restaurants and you see people that are less fortunate, we can play our part by giving something back."
