Drunk pitch invader asks for beer after viral KO

A drunken pitch invader who was knocked unconscious by a security guard reportedly asked for his beer after waking up.

“We’ve used 35 (players) in the Rugby Championship but when you get to these crunch games it’s the older heads and the calmer heads that sometimes pull it through,” coach Rassie Erasmus said.
“It was a gutsy performance and there was enough effort, and I do think there were brilliant plays at stages.
“To keep them to one score was great.”
