Rugby-playing sheep gains attention around the world

The All Blacks may have just found the perfect player to help them win the 2019 Rugby World Cup.

A video of Tuscany MacDonald playing rugby with Bruce the sheep has emerged online.

Bruce lives on farm in Rotorua and has been playing since 2013.

Kiwis have already labelled him as the future of NZ Rugby.

"He's better than most Wallabies players, no doubt," wrote one amused viewer on Facebook.
