We've all seen a match where it happens. There's an unexpected cheer from the crowd, play suddenly stops and the camera pans to a blank patch of grass whilst the commentator politely informs us of a 'break in play whilst the authorities deal with a pitch invader'. It can mean only one thing. Streaker.
Whilst all this is going on, the players are supposed to stand there impassively whilst the stewards and police restrain the bollock-naked intruder - usually after a couple of failed rugby tackles to the even greater delight of the crowd. Whatever happens, players must not get involved. It's the law. FIFA say so.
Well in Aussie Rules Football, they have something of a more 'relaxed' attitude to pitch invaders. Particularly naked ones, as this clip from a Northern Territory AFL game proves

Now THAT'S how you deal with some pissed-up attention-seeker with his cock hanging out.
