That’s the problem with modern rugby: it’s all about the collision, nobody looks for the space.
Mayor of London Boris Johnson found a soft shoulder during a game of street rugby in Tokyo, the soft shoulder of a 10-year-old boy.
Little Toki Sekiguchi never stood a chance once he was targeted by the bullocking Conservative politician.
Fair play to Toki, he proved himself to be a Brave Blossom by picking himself up and dusting himself off.
“I felt a little bit of pain but it’s OK,” said Sekiguchi after Johnson, in fairness, had apologised profusely for knocking over a small child during a friendly game of rugby.
On yer bike, Boris.

It’s not the first time Johnson has made headlines for an inappropriate rugby tackle, but at least he was playing rugby this time. Even if it was with children.
