Rugby: Notorious pitch-invader 'Jarvo 69' smashed in security guard's tackle while joining England anthem line

Infamous pitch-invader 'Jarvo 69' has been tackled out of the England anthem line, before their Six Nations rugby clash against Ireland at Twickenham.

Daniel Jarvis first captured Kiwis' attention last October, when he brazenly ran out of the crowd and joined the All Blacks for pre-match formalities against Wales at Principality Stadium.

"Where's Jarvo69?" tweeted NZ halfback Brad Weber afterwards. "Keen to have a beer with him."

Jarvo was already well known to England supporters, after taking the pitch three times with their cricketers against India during the northern summer, even bowling a delivery to England all-rounder Moen Ali.

The week after his All Blacks incursion, he infilatrated the Japan 'Brave Blossoms', before their clash with Ireland at Dublin's Aviva Stadium.

But this time, Jarvis finally got what was due to you, when he brazenly joined the end of the England line-up during God Save The Queen and was smashed in a copybook tackle by security guards, whose profession had suffered enough embarrassment at the hands of the interloper.

The novelty has clearly worn thin and Jarvis can probably expect even rougher treatment next time he surfaces.

"They should have let the players sort him out," insists Connacht flanker Conor Oliver on the House of Rugby podcast.

Former Ireland captain Brian O'Driscoll, who was sideline as part of the ITV match coverage, was even more unimpressed.

"This helmet had it coming," he tweeted. "It wasn't funny the first time.

"A couple of days in the clink would soften his cough."

England coach Eddie Jones would do well to recruit the security guard - now a national hero - after his side tumbled 32-15 to the Irish.
