But perhaps thankfully for both parties, the streaker slipped and Retallick had a change of heart.

"I wasn't too keen to tackle that naked man," Retallick told TVNZ. "I was thinking about it, but then I thought nah, I'm not going to do that."

TVNZ Breakfast presenter Hilary Barry had the best seat in the house to watch the pitch invasion early in the second half.

The naked man burst onto the pitch before being tackled by a mob of security guards and escorted from the field.

"Streaker, so North Shore," Barry tweeted.

The streaker just made more meters going forward than the entire Springbok team.
