All Blacks forwards coach Jason Ryan hasn't held back in his assessment of pitch invaders plaguing sport, with captain Sam Cane kicking a culprit after their victory over Argentina.
A pitch invader ran towards the All Blacks during post-match formalities and Cane has come under fire for kicking out at the boy, later owning up to his actions on social media.
Cane has escaped any punishment and reached out to the victim - an Argentinian teenager - to personally apologise.
The incident was hardly the first of its kind. Earlier this year, when NZ Warriors travelled to Napier to face Brisbane Broncos, several spectators chanced their arms in an attempt to get onto McLean Park.
More than 20 took to the field that night, with 12 arrested, but escaped criminal charges.
With the All Blacks back in New Zealand for their first home test of the year against South Africa on Saturday, Ryan warns he and the team have no time for anyone attempting to pitch invade.
"What's it going to take to stop people running on the field?" said Ryan. "Honestly, it's a shambles - it has been in Super Rugby too.
"Someone's going to get hurt. Until they make the consequence a little bit harder, we're just going to keep having these conversations.
"I've got no time for it, the players have got no time for it... it needs to stop.
"Security guys need to do their job. They're not there to watch the game, they're there to watch the crowd."
