Sale Sharks star Tom Curry briefly made himself the most popular man inside Twickenham after escorting a protester off the pitch during Saturday's Premiership final with Saracens.
There was a brief stoppage in play 20 minutes into what is the biggest fixture in the English club rugby calender, as protestors from the notorious 'Just Stop Oil' group invaded the pitch and threw orange powder onto the field.
Play was halted for 10 minutes as protestors were wrestled to the ground and taken off the pitch, with Curry helping to carry one of them off the field, much to the delight of the Twickenham crowd, whose boos of annoyance at the stoppage gave way to cheers.
