Man who allegedly urinated from SCG roof during Wallabies game cops LIFE BAN from Rugby Australia

A man who allegedly urinated from the roof of the Sydney Cricket Ground’s Bill O’Reilly Stand has been banned for life from Rugby Australia (RA) events.

The patron was filmed in the act after climbing to the vantage point during the second half of Saturday’s Test between Australia and England.

Footage circulating on social media shows the man on the roof of the O’Reilly Stand as the blockbuster match kicked off on Saturday night. 

During the second half, he appeared to urinate towards the big screen while playing on his phone.

Daniel King, 31, was arrested and taken to Surry Hills Police Station, where he was charged by NSW Police with behaving in an offensive manner in/near a public place and climbing on buildings on scheduled lands without approval and issued a two-year ban by the SCG.

He has been granted bail to reappear in court on July 25. 

RA chief executive Andy Marinos went a step further on Monday though, slamming the patron’s behaviour on a night when victorious England coach Eddie Jones was also called a ‘traitor’ by a disgruntled Wallabies fan. 

‘Rugby Australia is disappointed with the reported incidents within the crowd at the Sydney Cricket Ground for the Third Test of the Wallabies’ series with England,’ Marinos said.

‘The deplorable actions of the alleged intruder that made his way to the roof of the grandstand were disgraceful and dangerous.’

Jones, an Australian and former Wallabies coach, fired back at the punter on hearing his slur in a moment caught on camera that went viral.

Footage posted to social media showed a man wearing a yellow cap with a beer in his hand sledging Jones, who coached the Wallabies between 2001 to 2005.

Footage of the man urinating from the Bill O’Reilly Stand went viral on social media  

He watched the rugby match from the top of the building, to the bemusement of other fans 

The man was later escorted off the roof by authorities and taken to Surry Hills police station 

As his security detail tried to hold him back, Jones pushed past to charge at the man on the fence line.

‘What did you say? What did you say,’ a furious Jones yelled. ‘Come here and say it. Come here and say it. Come here and say it.’

The fan appeared shocked by Jones’s reaction and backed off.

‘The offensive remarks made by spectators in the Members’ areas towards England staff were unacceptable – and not representative of the values of rugby,’ Marinos said.

Eddie Jones lashed out at a fan who called him a ‘traitor’ after England’s win on Saturday

‘We have a zero-tolerance policy for inappropriate behaviour, and we are working with Venues NSW on appropriate sanctions for these individuals.

‘Rugby prides itself on values of respect and integrity – as seen in the players of both teams after the final whistle of a hard-fought series at the SCG on Saturday night.

‘It is our expectation that spectators adhere to these values of respect and integrity when attending rugby matches and, we would hope, in society in general.

‘Please, cheer for your team with all that you have. But please, always show respect for others.’
