Pitch invasions don’t seem as common in rugby circles as in soccer or, particularly, the GAA. And this might explain why.

Exeter had just scored a last minute try against Gloucester when Exeter fan Chris Kellow made a dash across the divide and onto the sacred turf of the playing field.

Kellow’s pitch invasion isn’t exactly the most passionate one you’ll ever see. It’s all a bit respectable and confused. But the reaction he gets is quite the opposite.

Goucester’s Freddie Burns - having just conceded a last minute try, let's not forget - grabs a hold of Kellow and administers a dump tackle on the significiantly slighter fan, before walking away and leaving a visibly shaken Kellows to be escorted from the pitch.
