Leroy Carter, recently included in the All Blacks squad for the Rugby Championship, faced a surprising setback when his dog chewed up his passport. Carter had just returned from being informed of his selection and was preparing for the squad assembly when he discovered the damage. He shared that the dog had jumped on the bed and chewed not only the passport but also his teeth aligners. Ultimately, he managed to resolve the passport issue in time for the team's departure to Argentina.
The utility back with the Hamilton-based Chiefs was one of four uncapped players included in Scott Robertson's Championship squad.
Carter was rushing to get things together for the squad's assembly and departure when he realised the family dog had intercepted his passport.
I got my passport out to take a photo to send to the team manager and I just left it on my bedside table.
The All Blacks squad leaves on Friday to play Argentina in Cordoba on 17 August and Buenos Aires a week later.
