pitch invaders

For what it's worth, the South African covering defence would have smashed Liam into the advertising boards before he would have got near the try line.

i’d quite happily pay extra taxes to keep miscreants behind bars where they belong and not out hurting and stealing from decent people btw its a criminal offence to invade a football pitch but  not a rugby one that’s just daft. Take the licence off the wru to host events , yeah like that will ever happen

Remind me not to be brought on front of you.

What is the current punishment out of interest? As it's a stadium security issue I would imagine a long ban would be as hard as they can go.  I doubt it's a police matter unless he committed a crime like assault.  He was more likely a victim of assault himself, though I don't think he'd be wise to pursue a case. Don't see why they can't give a £1000 fine or more. Like on trains the emergency stop has a penalty for misuse which is a fine plus threat of a criminal record I think. It's a very strong deterrent and is a relevant example as there could be times going on the pitch is needed for crowd safety or unexpected circumstances.

Didn’t there used to be signs by the pitch saying it was a criminal offence to step onto the pitch?

The kn*b has been named and shamed as well as the club he belongs to. There are also a couple of petitions asking for a life ban at the stadium. 

I NEVER sit in the main body of the stadium any more.Too many clowns back and fore with pints and to the loo.

And possibly some big win bonuses lost by the squad as well ? We shall never know how the pass to Liam may have gone if there wasn’t a fool struggling on the floor in front of them and how Liam with more time might have manoeuvred himself. Could there have been a try? Could one of the Boks have made a high tackle trying to stop Liam  and would a penalty etc have been granted? We shall never experience that moment and I feel robbed by that stupid 28 year old father of two kids. It’s pro rugby not the village green. It must not happen again but suspect it will at some stage!

The drunk guy in the SA game has only done it because the saw “Jarvo69” do it vs NZ.  As for Liam Williams he definitely would’ve scored, SA would’ve had a red for a high tackle trying to stop him then we would’ve scored another couple of tries afterwards to rub it in.
