Pipe-smoking rugby streaker tackled player causing brawl then ran off amid the brouhaha

The annual Varsity match between Team Northumbria and Newcastle University at Newcastle’s Kingston Park was plunged into chaos when Team Northumbria was suddenly given the one-man advantage – albeit a naked one-man advantage.



With Newcastle on the attack, the streaker, wearing nothing but a pair of socks and a pipe in his mouth, tackled one of the opposition. The players continued to compete for the ball, before a number of Newcastle players realised what had just happened.



Three of them went for the streaker, with one even attempting to kick the nude competitior. Soon, both teams were brawling with each other, and meanwhile the streaker made a slick getaway.

The Newcastle Student Radio provided commentary for the game, including the line “This is the worst thing to have happened in the history of the clash of the titans.” Northumbria eventually triumphed 29-10 once the brawl had settled down, and their coach Si Culley said: “it’s always hard in a derby match.”
