You know what they say – when you’re playing against children you should generally let them win. Or, at least let them have a fair chance of sizing up to you in some way.

But, nah, that’s not what Boris Johnson thinks. The Mayor of London pretty much flattened a ten-year-old school boy on the streets of Tokyo during a game of touch. It’s called touch for a reason, Boris.

What’s worse? It was an informal game of street rugby (that’s a thing? Probs the secret to Japan’s win) with adults and children on the final day of his three-day trade mission to Japan. AND he didn’t even make it over the line.

But, this isn’t the first time Boris has been in the headlines for rash actions. Last year he tripped a small child while playing football outside London’s City Hall, and in 2006 he headbutted the German international Maurizio Gaudino during a charity football match.

Oh Boris, you’re such a great representative for London.
