A 37-year-old man from Gravesend, Kent, has been charged by Merseyside Police after an audacious prank during a high-profile rugby league match between Australia and England. The incident occurred on Saturday at Everton’s Hill Dickinson Stadium, which recently opened earlier this year and hosted its first non-football event. Daniel Jarvis was captured on live BBC One television coverage standing at the end of Australia’s line-up during the national anthems, a move that disrupted the pre-game proceedings. Authorities charged Jarvis with disrupting a person engaged in a lawful activity. He has been remanded in custody and is set to appear at Liverpool Magistrates’ Court on Monday. The Rugby Football League is expected to conduct an internal review of the incident as part of its standard protocol. Despite the disruption, Australia secured a 14-4 victory in the match, marking a decisive win in the three-Test series, which concludes next Saturday in Leeds. The incident has sparked discussions about security measures at major sporting events, particularly in newly inaugurated venues.
