Rugby Australia branded his alleged actions “disgraceful and dangerous” and vowed to keep helping the police investigation.
NSW Police allegehe climbed the big screen on Saturday to get onto the roof of the O’Reilly Stand,where he then sat and had to be talked down by police. Footage captured by spectators allegedly showed him urinating from the roof.
He was charged with behaving in an offensive manner in a public place and climbing on buildings,on scheduled lands,without approval.
“Rugby Australia is disappointed with the reported incidents within the crowd at the Sydney Cricket Ground for the third Test of the Wallabies’ series with England,” RA boss Andy Marinos said. “The deplorable actions of the alleged intruder that made his way to the roof of the grandstand were disgraceful and dangerous.
‘We should be proud of what[Eddie Jones has] done. And,by the way,we have a Kiwi coach. I am appalled and embarrassed.’
RA chairman Hamish McLennan
“This individual has been issued with a life ban from Rugby Australia events – and we will continue to support the authorities in their handling of the matter.”
RA also condemned the spectators caught on video heckling England coach Eddie Jones,calling him a “traitor” during the half-time break and at full-time. Marinos said the organisation was working with Venues NSW on “appropriate sanctions for these individuals”.
