A Just Stop Oil protester has stormed onto Twickenham pitch, bringing the Rugby Premiership final to a pause.

Today, Saracens face Sale Sharks in the Gallagher Premiership final at London's Twickenham Stadium.

However, the game was interrupted midway through the first half of the match when a protester ran onto the pitch, letting off orange smoke as they headed towards the ball.

Players and security rushed to get the protester off the pitch.
