Morrison also took a tumble, however, the pair seemed to be okay after the incident as they both got up and high-fived when the PM asked the ginger-haired young sportsman if he was alright.

Twitter users were left in hysterics over the incident and drew comparisons to a similar video of British Prime Minister Boris Johnson ramming into a child while playing rugby back in 2015.
