選手も気づかず… 英ユーチューバー、何食わぬ顔でＮＺ代表と整列

【カーディフＡＦＰ＝時事】１０月３０日に英カーディフで行われたラグビーテストマッチのウェールズ対ニュージーランド戦で、英国のお騒がせユーチューバーがフィールドに侵入し、オールブラックス（ニュージーランド代表の愛称）の横に整列して国歌演奏を聞く一幕があった。後になるまで気づかなかった選手もいた。（写真は資料写真）
　国歌演奏時に整列したニュージーランドの選手の横に、背番号６９のジャージーを着た黒のマスク姿の大男が立っていた。
　その後警備員によって退場させられた男は、「Ｊａｒｖｏ ６９」ことユーチューバーのダニエル・ジャービスとみられる。ジャービスはフィールドへ駆け込む様子を映した動画を自身のツイッターに投稿し、「俺もニュージーランド代表デビュー！」とつぶやいている。
　ジャービスはこれまでにもクリケットの試合で何度か侵入騒動を起こしており、９月の代表戦では選手と衝突し、不法侵入罪で訴追されている。
　しかしオールブラックスの一員で、この試合でトライも決めたＴＪ・ペレナラは、６２分に交代するまで何があったのか知らなかったという。
　ペレナラは「いや、知らなかった」と話し、「交代になって、ベンチに座っているときに聞かされた。仲間の一人から、国歌が終わる時に誰かいたと言われたんだ」と続けた。
　「自分は目を閉じていて、途中で観客がざわつくのが聞こえたけど、理由は分からなかった。今思えば、その男のことや何かに気づいたからだったんだね」
　試合は７トライを決めたニュージーランドが５４－１６でウェールズに大勝した。【翻訳編集ＡＦＰＢＢＮｅｗｓ】

New Zealand scrum-half TJ Perenara said he was unaware a prankster had joined the All Blacks for the national anthem ahead of their Test against Wales until his involvement in Saturday's match was over.
New Zealand were lined up at Cardiff's Principality Stadium when a tall man wearing a face mask and dressed in All Blacks kit with 69 on the back of his shirt stood alongside reserve prop Tyrel Lomax.
The intruder, escorted off the field by stadium security staff, appeared to be Daniel Jarvo Jarvis, who styles himself Jarvo 69.
He tweeted a video of himself jogging onto the pitch accompanied by the words: Me making my Debut for New Zealand!
Jarvis made it onto the field several times during the England cricket team's series at home to India and was charged with aggravated trespass after colliding with Jonny Bairstow at the Oval in September.
Perenara, who scored one of the All Blacks' seven tries in a 54-16 hammering of Wales, had no idea what had happened before kick-off until after he was replaced by Brad Weber in the 62nd minute.
No, I didn't (know), he said. I got told when I came off and was sitting on the bench. One of the bros was telling me that there was someone else at the end of the anthem.
I actually had my eyes closed. Halfway through... I heard the crowd going off. And I couldn't think why. Now, in hindsight, it's because they noticed that guy or something like that.
The anthem incident aside, Perenara was rarely caught unawares while on the field and scored a well-worked try in the first half when taking a pop pass from No. 8 Ardie Savea.
Perenara, whose selection ahead of Weber had been a pre-match talking point, was then able to watch New Zealand run riot with four tries in the final quarter as they put an under-strength Wales to the sword.
Towards the end we scored a few pretty cool tries, where we capitalised on some opportunities, which was pleasing, he said.
But for a big part of that game they made us work a lot defensively. I'm just proud of us and our efforts, and how we combated that.
