Watch: Pitch invader ‘Jarvo’ crashes All Blacks during anthem

October 31, 2021

Infamous pitch invader “Jarvo” joined the All Blacks at the start of the New Zealand national anthem ahead of their Test with Wales in Cardiff on Sunday morning.

"Jarvo", who has somehow evaded security at Lord's and during a London NFL game, got onto the pitch at Principality Stadium.

Wearing face mask and full kit, he stood near Tyrel Lomax at one end of the team line.

He stood for the first few lines before a security officer got to him and tried to hustle him along.

It came as Covid numbers in Wales hit record highs.

The All Blacks beat Wales 54-16.
