Rugby in New Zealand: Wild fights between folders and speedsters

For the fans they are a fun interruption, for which athletes usually rather annoying: when speedsters run to the field during a game, it often becomes strange. Several troublemakers had decided to interrupt a rugby game in New Zealand – with success.

With the match between the blues and the chiefs, real chaos broke out in the second half ,. Obviously, it was a concerted campaign: around 70 minute, several men jumped off the stands and ran to the field in Eden Park. There were wild fights between the slightly or not at all clad and the order.

A video that is shared on social networks shows a particularly intensive argument: a folder tries to prevent a naked man from walking to the field and holds it onto his legs. With a trick, however, the man succeeds in freeing himself: he presses his naked butt in the face of the security employee and can tear himself away. Then he plunges head across the gang and gets into the field.

The game in Auckland then had to be interrupted. Luke Jacobson, captain of the chiefs, took it calmly: “You just have to laugh at it. It is not ideal for the game, but no distraction for us at all.” The players would simply have had their jobs done and then continued.

For one of the speedsters, however, the campaign ended in the hospital: he was injured in the leg when trying to get to the field and had to be taken to a clinic. In addition, all speedsters were filed for trespassing. Nick Sautner, Managing Director of the Eden Park, told the “New Zealand Herald” that they take such incidents very seriously: “You never know what the intention of these people is.” The speeders threaten fines or, in the worst case, even a few months in prison.
