Fan who allegedly urinated from SCG roof handed life ban by Rugby Australia

Rugby Australia have accused a fan of ‘deplorable’ behaviour and banned him for life after climbing up the big screen and allegedly urinating from the roof of the iconic Sydney Cricket Ground during Saturday’s third Test against England.

The rogue supporter made his way to the roof of the Bill O’Reilly stand during the second half of the series decider, which England clinched with a 21-17 win. The fan was charged by police after the match and it was announced on Monday that Rugby Australia had given him a lifetime ban.

The fan was arrested by NSW Police as England claimed the Ella-Mobbs Cup with a 2-1 series victory thanks to a terrific defensive performance from Eddie Jones’ side. However, many of the post-match comments surrounded the fan who allegedly climbed the iconic SCG screen and leapt across to the roof of the O’Reilly Stand.
