LIST | Five times ANIMALS invaded rugby pitches

This formidable squad was recently spotted strolling across the pitch at a rugby club's grounds in South Africa.

A fox provides some pre-match entertainment on the pitch before England's Six Nations clash against Scotland.

A dog invades the pitch during Treviso's 34-10 with Munster at the Stadio Comunale di Monigo in February 2013. After bounding out into the middle of the pitch it was picked up by Treviso's South African centre Doppies la Grange and returned to it's owner.
