The heavy hits weren't limited to just the players in Saturday's Six Nations duel between England and Ireland as one pitch invader suffered a brutal tackle prior to kick-off.
Both teams were lined up for the national anthems when a supporter dressed in full England kit made his way onto the turf in an attempt to link up with the players.
However, security were wise to the act and unleashed a thunderous spear tackle on the culprit, reducing him to a heap on the floor before escorting him off the field.
