[Other Sport] Best Boris Johnson take out

[JC Footy Genius]

I can think of no other politician in my lifetime who would have got away with yesterday's rugby incident in the way that he has. The facts are that a prominent UK politician on an official overseas trip has dropped his shoulder and deliberately knocked over a 10-year old kid.

A kinder interpretation might be men of a certain age and girth shouldn't try a body swerve at speed as their centre of gravity rarely ends up where they expect.

Public school bully. People forget the oaf was head boy at Eton. That's all you need to you. Prize twunt!

also amusing was report i read of the Japanese lad "being shocked..." he was playing rugby, hardly an unheard of outcome even in touch rugby.

Seriously?

A fully grown, overweight, public school bully almost flattens a small child in touch rugby, just as said small child is 'tackling' said bully by touching him on the arm, and you think that's acceptable?

Simple conclusion: you can't trust Boris. He's a bully and a bit of a ****.

Conceded. My substantive point remains: no other politician I can think of would get away with it. Hmmm...as I type, perhaps John Prescott?

I'm guessing he is more of an egg chaser than footballer in his dim and distant past

What an idiot.

The German one looked more deliberate and brutal.

It was hilarious.
