Pitch invader Jarvo works hard to be "a player" for best show

From First Up, 5:43 am on 4 November 2021

One of the stars of the show in the All Blacks game against Wales over the weekend was a man with Jarvo 69 emblazened on his black jersey standing with the players as they lined up for their national anthems. The serial pitch invader Daniel Jarvis, known as Jarvo, managed to spend a decent amount of time out on the field with the New Zealand players before being removed by security. Jarvo famously ran out on the pitch when England's cricketers were taking on India at Lords, insisting he was an Indian player, and has also disrupted championship diving events and American football games. He agreed to have a chat with First Up about his increasingly bold pitch invasions. Nathan Rarere asked about the first time he did it.
