A tartan pyjama-wearing joker has run onto the field during the State of Origin decider in Brisbane.
The pitch invader rushed across Suncorp Stadium early in the first half of the match between the New South Wales Blues and the Queensland Maroons.
Wide World of Sports commentators Ray Warren, Paul Vautin and Phil Gould were less than impressed.

‘Oh there’s some idiot streaking,’ Warren said on the broadcast. ‘No, he’s got clothes on.’
‘A streaker in clothes?’ Vautin questioned.
‘When you go to Suncorp, this is what you’ve got to contend with,’ Gould said.
‘Everyone talks about the crowd, the atmosphere. You’ve got to contend with how well Queensland play here. That’s what you’ve got to contend with.
‘Forget about the crowd. Forget about what’s happening over the sidelines. Contend with what’s happening on the field.’
Over 52,000 fans will pack into Brisbane ‘s Suncorp Stadium for Wednesday night’s highly anticipated clash as New South Wales hunt three consecutive series victories
A few Blues supporters are pictured riling up opposition fans before the match
Blues prop forward Payne Haas had just taken an incredible catch to stop a Jake Friend grubber kick on the NSW try line when the offender rushed onto the ground.
The pitch invader wore tartan pyjamas and was run down by security before being escorted from the ground.
Haas’ play lead to a cheap penalty for NSW, before the Blues leveled the score at 6-6 with a James Tedesco equaliser.
