Trouserless Lions fan waits patiently for try in All Blacks Test… before whipping off his shirt and streaking on pitch


A TROUSERLESS Lions fan waits patiently for a try in the first Test against the Lions… before whipping off his shirt and streaking onto the pitch.

The man, whose name is not known, saw his moment to shine when Rhys Webb dived over in the 80th minute.

Especially as everyone else around him was wrapped up in coats and hats.

The streaker’s moment to shine could have come much earlier had Elliot Daly gone over after just two minutes for Warren Gatland’s side.

In fairness, there was a lot of New Zealand possession to sit through as they ended up 30-15 winners at Eden Park.

But the nudist’s moment to shine came late on and he made it count.

Stripping off in the crowd, he hurdled several obstacles before side-stepping a steward in a move that would have made Liam Williams proud.

Galloping on to the pitch, the streaker takes off his shirt and waves it around his head.

He makes it a fair way onto the pitch and looks to be en pointe in the style of a ballet dancer before being tackled by security.
