Curious 4-year-old finds way onto rugby league field, scores 100metre try

Cute kid

Gareth Makim

We’ve all turned around and realised our kid wasn’t where we expected him to be (right?), but the last place you’d expect to find him is wandering along the try line at a rugby game

A four-year-old managed to do just that at a charity rugby league match in Australia between Queensland and New South Wales legends, turning up in the thick of the action after a Queensland kick-off.

Shocked NSW players reacted brilliantly, handing him the ball and sending him straight into the heart of the Queensland defence, who delivered an Oscar-worthy performance in an effort to ‘tackle’ the youngster.

Kudos all round.
