SBW tribute from that kid

@daffy-jaffy The kid was 14 in 2015?! I thought he was about 10. Did his parents put him on protein-free diet or something?

Spoilt Silver spoon brat breaks rules, gets rightly tackled for it, but gets given a medal. I know SBW meant well, but I know I would have given my kids something rather different to a medal if they’d done something like that.
-
I instantly thought of Gervais
-
i had no idea they had kept in touch

When I saw it at the time I thought the ever impressive Sonny Bill had pulled the wrong rein.
The security cordon is there to protect him, many of the players aren't much interested in being pawed by strangers and the game and ground managers have "duty of care" drilled into them. Individual security casual workers have no authority to make exceptions - if they do they lose their job, it is as simple as that.
-
@mick-gold-coast-qld no need to crash tackle a 14 year old like that. Common sense is required in circumstances like that
-
@kirwan oh you're 100% right. But in the wrong decade I'm afraid. Workplaces are filled with those " non negotiables". Surely you've been to an airport?🙂
-
one assumes he got a big fine and a ground ban like anyone else would have?
-
@mariner4life like any adult is likely to get - pretty sure they'd exercise a bit of discretion for young'uns. Especially 14 year old's that look 10!

softie

Don't tell me, I made no comment about that.
-
@mariner4life ha ha if I managed to get my family to a RWC final overseas and my kid got on the field I'd expect them to step the security at least once (I mean Kiwi's have a rep to maintain) then take the hit with good grace. I suspect the posh(ish) accent isn't doing this young fulla any favours. But I'd take the view he was frothing and had typical kid brain fart rather than thought he was owed anything when running on field.
-
Little twat probably figured daddy and mummy could easily pay the fine. But worked out well for him. You do something incredibly stupid and illegal and you get something not even Jonah Lomu had. Seems fair.
-
Was he even tackled? Looked like the security guy was trying to grab him at speed and lost his balance.

You are talking about a kid at the time, give yourself an uppercut. The dude clearly tackled him too, which was a complete overreaction.
Crash tackle adults as much as you like, but a kid got excited at a WC final win and wanted to get close to his idols. Perspective.

Um it wasn’t a crash tackle. If it was said kid wouldn’t have gotten up.
He just got excited? Well that’s ok then. That’s an interesting defence to use in court. Funny how the hundreds of other kids there were able to keep that excitement in check and follow the law. Kid did something incredibly stupid. Consequences and repercussions.

Court? For a kid running on to a rugby field?
Bizarre take. Anyway, trash talking a kid, like your previous posts, is pretty sad.

Comes across very well. And a good video so thanks for posting

Having rules and laws and expecting them to be followed is sad? Mkay.
But no, you’re right. It’s perfectly acceptable. In fact why don’t all kids just run onto the field and anyone who gets a bit excited for that matter. Why bother even having rules or enforcing them? -
@rancid-schnitzel the zero tolerance/throw the book at em take, combined with the spoiled brat comment, comes across as pretty punitive to me. Yep, running on-field isn't on anymore and you should expect to cop fines or whatever the punishment is these days. But in the main that's about player safety and also not having dickheads disrupt a game while it's still going. IMO there is scope for some flexibility in what happened to the kid given it was during the victory lap after the game.
I don't necessarily see a kid from a well off (or super well off) family being any more or less resistant to a rush of blood to the head at a massive sporting event where their idols are literally a few metres away. Doesn't mean he isn't an entitled brat but I'm ok with cutting him some slack.

@paekakboyz i miss kids flooding the field at the full time whistle.
-
@mariner4life I remember being part of horde of kids (inc big ones lol) running on to Athletic Park back in the day.

was pretty cool!

Clueless too. He referred to SBW as a “Rugby Legend”.

We’ll have to agree to disagree on that one. I think him being an entitled brat born with a silver enema up his arse had a massive bearing on it. You see any other kids doing it? Would you be happy if your kids did it? He wasn’t mentally disabled. He knew full well what he was doing was wrong but didn’t give a shit about the consequences. No sympathy here.

When we moved to Brisbane we could flood the field at Ballymore but Lang Park was a massive no no. Funny enough how all the kids could respect that, despite the irresistible siren sound of having their idols metres away. But shit, rules are made to be broken right. Blame security.
-
@rancid-schnitzel ha ha I'd be happy if that meant I was rich fucker!! but beyond that it's an agree to disagree scenario for sure

A line from a Few Good Men comes to mind.
Seriously, are you related to this kid or something? -

I used to follow SBW on Instagram when I was using that platform and I noticed that this kid was commenting on SBW's page. I clicked on his profile and saw that he's still in touch with SBW, and even visited the ABs in Japan during the 2019 RWC. Great reward for being an entitled little douche who had no regard for the rules
-
as someone who never, ever broke the rules, did I mention ever, I find it ludicrous to think a kid can get away with such illegal activity in this day and age.
Whatever you think of SBW, vast majority of the time, he is/was a marketers dream, he defused that situation and turned it to his, NZR and rugbys advantage.

Especially when you consider that in the era he played there were 5/6 midfielders as good or better than him

@mn5 I call BS, name them? Bearing on mind he covered 12/13 and also was capped on the wing...

Nonu, Smith ( absolute no brainers both always selected ahead of him ) but also Goodhue, ALB and Crotty got picked instead of him at various times. So yeah, can’t think of six but definitely five.....
