Naked man with tricolour on pitch at RWC

[DLR]

Did anyone else see this? It was during Japan v Fiji today in the rugby. I watched the 2nd half and was amused to see the camera cut to a streaker being prevented from running onto the pitch bearing an Irish tricolour. The camera cut away very quickly and the commentator held his tongue. There's one way to make your point.

Irish rugby fans would have been shocked and scandalised at the sight of a tricolour at the world cup.
The media were right not to broadcast such disturbing scenes.

That's the policy these days, they don't give them the publicity so they just take the camera off it and don't mention it. Unless of course it becomes disruptive to the game in which case the camera still won't focus on it but the commentator will mention the idiot on the pitch.

that happened when I was in South Africa, when one of the lads I worked with had a mixture of too much sun, too much beer, and a shockingly boring cricket match

(you get at least 1 streaker per game in SA cricket)

The crowd thought from the Tricolour however, that he was French...

Stupid South Africans

yep, all streakers are retards, the streaker in this case was neutral but whenever ireland were having a good spell of play in a match(football that is) a ''supporter'' would run onto the pitch and delay the game for 5 minutes ruining our momentum. it happened at landsdowne road way too often.

also most streakers nowadays dont even actually streak, they where clothes. if your going to be a retard at least have courage and show you have balls. (no pun intended )

Knock off that demeaning language. It might be OK at the PSF cumann meeting but it won't do here.

Perhaps he should have described then as 'bovine', a term you have no difficulty with.

Was it a cute streaker. Maybe I should take more of an interest. For reasons of patriotism of course....
