Video Surfaces on TikTok of Springbok Fan Being Smashed by Security After Streaking on Mbombela Stadium Pitch

• One Springbok fan enjoyed South Africa's convincing 26-10 over New Zealand last weekend in Nelspruit a little bit too much
• The man ran onto the pitch just around half-time of the match, and was promptly smashed by the security
• The Springboks will look to continue a whitewash over their arch-rivals at Ellis Park tomorrow afternoon hoping of no such distractions

A Springbok supporter probably regrets whatever temporary insanity that enveloped his mind last weekend.

The man was seen streaking on the Mbombela Stadium field in Nelspruit last Saturday during half-time of South Africa's 26-10 demolition of New Zealand in the Rugby Championship opener. The TikTok video then showed him being tackled brutally by security, before being hauled away for what must have been a cold and unpleasant night in Mbombela.

This evoked memories of a more unpleasant incident in 2002, when Piet van Zyl attacked Irish referee Dave McHugh during a Tri-Nations Test match been the two nations at the King's Park Stadium in Durban.

According to RugbyDump, van Zyl ran onto the field out of frustration to pitifully wrestle McHugh - who was refereeing quite poorly that afternoon - on to the ground at the point of a scrum. This resulted in the victim suffering a dislocated shoulder, while the attacker suffered a bloody nose after being manhandled by concerned player from both sides.

Having been banned for life from rugby grounds in South Africa for his actions, a less-than-sorry van Zyl said:

“Don’t forget that the incident happened when the referee closed his one eye and ceased to see the Springboks. I am therefore not sorry that I did what I did. If he, the referee, didn’t do what he did that incident would not have happened.”

A South African All Blacks fan has not taken their poor form of late very well.

As reported by Sports Brief, he was seen on video burning a 2011 Rugby World Cup New Zealand jersey following their 26-10 defeat to the Springboks in a Rugby Championship Test at Mbombela Stadium in Nelspruit last night.
