In a hospitality box at Paris’s Stade de France, Jarvo—also known as Jarvo 69—watched the championship match alongside celebrities like singer Rita Ora and tennis player Novak Djokovic. He swaggered past security at full time as South Africa was about to start celebrating their victory over New Zealand, having consumed free champagne and beers.

Scrum-half De Klerk, 32, asked Jarvo, “Are you that guy?” after recognizing him. Before being led away by police, Jarvo shared bottles of champers with the players. He told The Sun that a few of them were coming up to greet him. Jarvo revealed that he is going for a hat-trick—the rugby, the cricket—and he has another big one coming. What could it be?

Recently, after a security lapse, Jarvo was deported to London

The social media influencer was deported to London for getting too close to players, including Virat Kohli, during the India-Australia ICC World Cup match at Chennai’s MA Chidambaram stadium. Jarvo’s visa was revoked by the police. He arrived in India on October 6. On October 8, police and BCCI officials apprehended the UK national.

Jarvo is not permitted to attend any more tournament matches, according to the ICC. However, it is still unclear how he gained entry to the VIP section and managed to sneak past several security measures to reach the Field of Play (FOP).

Jarvo has previously acted in the same way

During India’s match, the Englishman successfully evaded security four times. Jarvo had previously been barred from English territory during England’s 2021 series against India for frequently demonstrating weaknesses in the country’s security measures by walking onto the field whenever he pleased.

Both the ICC and the BCCI must have been mortified when Jarvo, donning the India shirt, strolled into the arena as the Indian squad was preparing for the march past and attempted to get closer to one of the team’s main players, Virat Kohli.
