A naked woman streaking at a rugby match Saturday at the end of the New Zealand All Blacks’ 28-9 victory over Argentina in Napier, New Zealand has gone viral. Footage from the match shows one security guard lunging at the streaker’s head as she kneels on the ground, before another guard tackles her forcefully.
Steve Hansen, coach of the All Blacks, was not amused, wondering aloud why more preventive measures weren’t taken.
“You get these lunatics who want to run onto the field and disrupt the game,” he said, per ESPN. “[The security guards] do really good tackles at the end of it, but they probably should be doing some before they get on.”
The footage sparked a debate on YouTube over whether the guards were too physicalwith the woman.
Identified by The Sydney Morning Herald as Rose Kupa, 25, the woman was given a warning for disorderly behavior and banned from McLean Park stadium for two years. Kupa told TVNZ she had “no regrets,” saying the stunt was on her bucket list.
