Prankster Daniel Jarvis charged over joining Australia rugby line-up

A man who decided to pull a prank during a rugby league game between Australia and England has found himself in trouble with the law. Daniel Jarvis, an internet prankster from Kent, was captured on live BBC TV coverage standing at the end of Australia’s line-up during the national anthems before the game in Liverpool.

The incident, which took place at Everton’s Hill Dickinson Stadium, resulted in Jarvis being charged by Merseyside Police for disrupting a person engaged in a lawful activity. The 37-year-old has been remanded in custody and is set to appear at Liverpool Magistrates’ Court on Monday to face the consequences of his actions.

Following the prank, it has been reported that the Rugby Football League will be conducting an internal review of the event. Despite the disruption caused by Jarvis, Australia managed to secure a 14-4 victory over England in the three-Test series. The match was a historic one as it was the first non-football event held at Everton’s new stadium, which only opened earlier this year.

As the series comes to an end with the final match scheduled in Leeds next Saturday, the focus remains on the unexpected turn of events during the game in Liverpool. The prankster’s actions have sparked debate about security measures at sporting events and the consequences of such disruptions on the players and the overall atmosphere of the game
