A self-styled YouTube prankster who entered the pitch at the Principality Stadium and lined up alongside the All Blacks in last autumn's encounter has been given a suspended prison sentence for an incident at an England cricket match weeks earlier.
A WRU security review was launched after his stunt in Cardiff, with video showing him walking onto the pitch unchallenged in full New Zealand kit. You can watch what happened here.
But it is his actions in September, 2021, at The Oval cricket ground that saw him before a Judge on Wednesday.
Daniel Jarvis, 34, filmed himself hiding in the toilets before darting onto the field and colliding with English batsman Jonny Bairstow on day two of the fourth Test against India last September.
He received a phone call tipping him off about the right time to cross the boundary before making contact with the batsman, 33, as he tried to bowl at 24-year-old Ollie Pope.
Jarvis, who has a YouTube account with more than 170,000 subscribers, was convicted of aggravated trespass following a summary trial in September.
He denied he had intended to disrupt the match and claimed he made his videos for the "people's pleasure" and had received "positive" feedback on them.
"I get loads of people saying they have got mental health and my videos make them happy," he told the court.
He told the court he "accidentally" made contact with an unsuspecting Bairstow at the non-striker's end of the pitch, admitting "I can't remember the man's name."
But passing sentence on Wednesday, District Judge Daniel Benjamin said Jarvis' culpability was "extremely high" and found he had "deliberately set out to disrupt a high-profile sporting event."
"Players and sporting officials do not know whether a person crossing the boundary is intent on doing them physical harm," he said.
"Even if the person is not intent on doing physical harm, as your own conduct shows it is possible for physical contact to be made with a player inadvertently, risking such harm.
"As with any other member of the public, players and officials deserve to feel safe within their workplace.
"Contrary to your attempts to do otherwise with your YouTube videos, the message needs to go out that wrongly entering the arena at a sporting fixture is not a silly matter.
"It is so wide of the mark of acceptable behaviour that it will be met with severe sanction by the courts.
"I am satisfied that this offence is so serious that only a custodial sentence can be justified."
Jarvis, who appeared in the dock unshaven and wearing a grey hoodie and jeans, rolled his eyes and smiled as he was given an eight-week prison sentence suspended for two years.
He was also banned from attending any venue where a sporting fixture is being held in England and Wales for two years, from travelling abroad for 12 months and made subject to a rehabilitation activity requirement.
The judge warned him: "If you fail to comply with any of these requirements you will be in breach of this order, which means that you will be brought back to court and you will be on a sticky wicket because you will be liable to serve the sentence of imprisonment, whether in whole or in part".
The summary trial, at Croydon Magistrates' Court, heard the serial pitch invader had been convicted in 2014 of running onto the field during a football match as part of a competition to see which contestant could stay in the arena longest.
He twice breached a football banning order as a result of that occasion and has been convicted on 15 occasions for a total of 21 offences including those unrelated to sports.
Altaf Mohammed, defending, argued Jarvis, of Gravesend, Kent, had filmed the stunt "for fun and amusing people" but now "fully realises how serious this is".
