The streak continues.
Matt Scott crashed over for what should have been the deciding play with two minutes and 10 seconds left on the clock, and it was almost time for the fat lady to sing. Instead, it was a fat streaker who almost decided proceedings.
After hurdling the fence, the advertising hoardings and evading numerous security guards and the players, he ran 95 metres upfield. He fell flat on his face, a result of exhaustion and, presumably alcohol.

It is understood that the trespasser greased his body with vaseline-like substance making it difficult for him to be tackled by authorities.

Wati Holmwood, 33, was charged by police in 2011 after he stormed onto Allianz Stadium during the first half of a match between the Wests Tigers and New Zealand Warriors.
At the time, one commentator said Holmwood’s tubby figure was sprinting across the field ‘‘like there was a free buffet beneath the goalposts’’.

After reaching one try line, he turned around and began sprinting back upfield, evading the first security guard who attempted to tackle him.
A second security guard wrestled him to the ground, where he was arrested.
Holmwood was charged in 2011 with wilful and obscene exposure in public, as well as assaulting security guard who tried to apprehend him.
When he faced court for the first time the following month, he was wearing a T-shirt and a pair of shorts.

Part of his bail conditions at the time required him to not drink in a public place or come within 500 metres of Allianz Stadium.
Numerous Facebook pages have been set up in the wake of Wednesday night’s incident, including one that is appealing for donations to pay for Holmwood’s expected fine.
‘‘you can donate 5c, $1 or how ever much you want,’’ the page says.

Attitudes to Holmwood’s actions vary greatly on social media, where some are describing him as a ‘‘legend’’ and others saying he ruined the game and should cop a bigger fine for his actions.
On Wednesday night ANZ Stadium and NRL officials confirmed Holmwood was being questioned by police and faces a lifetime ban from both the venue and rugby league matches.
It is understood that he did not co-operate with police during the interview.

On Thursday morning, a NSW Police spokesman said a 33-year-old Tempe man was issued with a court attendance notice for the offences of wilful and obscene exposure, and enter or remain on a playing field without authorisation. He is due to appear in Burwood Local Court on August 6.
On Wednesday night, the streaker landed splat in the middle of play and, NSW defenders claimed, prevented them from stopping a rampaging Scott. Seven years of Origin football could have come to this.
The decision was referred upstairs. The video referees decided that, with a fat, naked man on the field and numerous security guards in tow, it was an obstruction call no one could complain about.
Mercifully, it didn't decide the game. Should the Blues have scored in those final, frenetic minutes, some nude fool may have done what countless Blues players couldn't – stop the, ahem, Bananabenders.
NSW coach Laurie Daley labelled the incident as "silly behaviour".
