(Reuters) - A spectator who ran onto the field and disrupted proceedings in South Africa's 23-18 win nL1N2RX0KG over Wales at the Principality Stadium on Saturday has been identified as a registered player who will now be banned from the venue by the Welsh Rugby Union (WRU).

With the game locked at 15-15 in the 64th minute, Wales had a one-man advantage out wide with substitute Liam Williams in a position to score when the individual disrupted the move.
