The Rugby Premiership final at Twickenham has ground to a halt after Just Stop Oil protestors ran onto the pitch.
The protesters stormed the pitch midway through the first half of the match between Sale and Saracens.
The eco activist ran towards the middle of the ground, where the ball was at the time, with orange smoke streaming behind him.
He was met with boos from fans as the game had to be stopped. Crowds cheered his exit as security intervened to drag him out of the stadium.
A number of protesters ran onto the pitch 15 minutes into the match and released powder in a similar fashion to their protest at the recent snooker world championship.
