The Sharks skipper manhandled a lobbyist from the field after the Raiders snapped Gallagher’s championship final.

Police made two arrests, with one of the stadium raiders being a GP from Bristol.

Ross slammed back-rower Just Stop Oil, after he had to step in and stop two invaders throwing orange smoke bombs onto the Twickenham lawn.

In the aftermath of the Muslims’ 35-25 victory, Ross said, “I don’t agree with what they’re doing, not at all.” “It’s completely against everything I believe in.

“They screw up sporting events week after week, week off, I don’t agree with that, I don’t agree with what they stand for. We’ll leave it there, but I don’t agree with it at all.”

The two marauders who broke through the field during the first half got more than they bargained for, when players Tom Curry and Ross tackled players.

Curry was seen carrying a shocked protester with one hand from the field, eventually handing the lobbyist over to the stadium stewards.

Selling’s captain Ross did likewise on the other side of the field with the other protester, and the game was back on within minutes.

Environmental activist group Just Stop Oil has made a name for themselves boycotting major sporting events, with a protester managing to detonate a similar smoke bomb at the World Snooker Championships at Sheffield’s Crucible Theater in April.

When the protesters were removed from the square, a collective booing erupted in Twickenham, with the lobby group’s broader climate change point finding little favor with the crowd in west London.

Saracens and Sale were closed at 6-6 at the time of the cut-off, but the Men In Black quickly took a 13-6 lead through a penalty try.

Just Stop Oil is calling for a halt to new licenses for oil, gas and coal projects in the UK. Protester Dr Patrick Hart, a GP from Bristol, insisted it was his duty to take a stand.

“I’m doing this because it’s my duty as a doctor,” said Dr. Hart, 37. “The climate crisis is the biggest health crisis humanity has ever faced.”

Essex builder Sam Johnson, 40, has also moved to work by invading the pitch at Twickenham.

“I took action today because we ran out of time,” Johnson said. “We have to address this now. The whole world knows that licensing new fossil fuel projects in 2023 will lead to the deaths of millions of people.”

Two arrests were made as the protests cleared up relatively quickly, though not without interruption.

“Twickenham Stadium can confirm two arrests have been made and this is now a matter for the police,” a statement read.
