Steward could face charges for almost decapitating female streaker

The woman who ran onto the pitch during All Blacks vs Argentina just barely avoided a dangerous swinging arm.

THE STREAKER-STEWARD etiquette is well-established at this stage: streaker runs around for a few seconds, gets tired and is eventually caught by a few plodding, out of shape stewards. But this security guard at Eden Park for All Blacks vs Argentina obviously doesnโ€™t subscribe to that time-honoured protocol. His hero must be Sonny Bill Williams because he tried to emulate the big hitter with this attempted spearing of a female pitch invader.

According to Fox Sports, the woman has basically just received a warning while the human torpedo could face further charges for his wild challenge. This could be New Zealandโ€™s trial of the century with some teak tough defence lawyer from Dunedin playing the Johnny Cochran role- โ€œIf he does not hit, you MUST acquit!โ€
