Leroy Carter almost missed out on playing for the New Zealand rugby team after his passport was bitten by a dog.
Leroy Carter (Chiefs Club) has just received a surprise call-up to the New Zealand squad for the upcoming Rugby Championship. This is the first time Carter has had the opportunity to contribute to the national rugby team.
However, the joy was quickly replaced by panic when the 26-year-old player discovered that his passport had been chewed to pieces.
And “the culprit was his pet dog”. This incident forced Leroy Carter to immediately find a way to apply for an emergency passport in time to fly to Argentina to attend the opening match against Pumas.
The 26-year-old star explained: “I took out my passport to take a photo to send to the team manager but forgot it on the bedside table. My girlfriend went to the gym and left the dog alone at home, so it sneaked into the room, jumped on the bed and chewed my passport to pieces.”
Fortunately for him, everything was resolved in time.
