Cross-Dressing Fan Learns The Hard Way: Don’t Trifle With an Annoyed Rugby Player

Seems like one of those things you shouldn’t have to tell people, right? I mean, everyone understands that you shouldn’t mess with a rugby player, especially when he’s losing, right?
Apparently not. Some people like to court danger.
And, heck, if you’re a Bath or Sale Sharks (both British teams) fan, and you’re going to charge the pitch in the middle of a game, you might as well go all out. And by “all out,” we mean “dressed as Goldilocks” (well, we think that’s supposed to be Goldilocks) like the guy in this video.
Unfortunately for the danger-courter, Bath player Olly Barkley was having a bad night and wasn’t in the mood for any cross-dressing hijinks.
Watch the fan (aka SuperTighthead) video via YouTube:
When the “tranny pitch invader entered [Barkley’s] vicinity, he’d had enough of what was a rather miserable night for the visitors, and took his frustrations out on the young man,” Rugby Dump reports.
Well, he’s not really a “tranny.” The “pitch invader,” as Rugby Dump calls him, was actually out with his buddies on a “stag do” (a bachelor party) which begs an even bigger question: what goes on during British bachelor parties?
“Barkley dumped the guy to the turf, which was picked up by a fan in the stands, and wasn’t shown on TV,” Rugby Dump writes.
Unsurprisingly, an internet video of a rugby player plastering a frolicking man dressed up as Goldilocks garnered a bit of attention and prompted Barkley to Tweet the following:
“English rugby players do not abide with such nonsense,” Dead Spin’s Dave Shireley writes, “You have been warned.”

Posted on April 19, 2012 at 2:57pmActually, the sport of rugby (at the high school level) is finally becoming quite popular in this country… likely attributed to it’s pure competition; not “instant replay” and mind-numbingly long (and boring games) that we’re subjected to from other sports… and it’s about time!
My son is fortunate to play for a high school team that is one of, if not the finest rugby program in the nation… Defending National Champion Jesuit High School (Sacramento, CA), and it’s a pleasure to watch these young men compete (even against heated rivals) with such a gentlemenly dignity that is expected of all who play the sport!
No sport better prepares young men for the competitive rigors of college and life beyond, than does rugby. If you haven’t had the opportunity to observe, seek out a high school tourney (or single school league game), and you will most assuredly be impressed!

Posted on April 19, 2012 at 8:49amThis never happened during my rugby games! I have to applaud the player’s “restraint”…using a textbook rugby tackle, instead of unleashing a vicious hit and knocking Goldilocks out.

Rugby is New Zealand’s national game. Here are our mighty All Blacks at play. There is no trick photography here.

Posted on April 19, 2012 at 2:08pmMy husband and I sat down one afternoon and watched a whole rugby game. I love sports in general, but I was more confused after the game than when we started to watch. I definately wouldn’t want to be tackled by one of those players though…they’re huge!
