The crowd had been mostly well-behaved before that, with two other arrests, one when a man was denied entry for intoxication before the match, she said.
Dagg said on Twitter he’d counted roughly 10 “streakers” at the game, and though most of them were at least partially clothed, he described it as “appalling”.
“People encouraging these streakers should be embarrassed!! Don’t applaud them!! Boo them!! It’s appalling,” he wrote.
On a Hawke’s Bay Today Facebook post about the match, others were similarly annoyed.
Peter Robertson wrote that the game was “ruined” by the acts.
“Very frustrating watching it on TV. Don’t take a game to that ground again NRL.”
Ben Dunbar said the interruptions during the game weren’t a good look for Napier.
“It was boring watching it at home because the cameraman wouldn’t show what was happening.”
Dane Makirere had a different viewpoint: “The streakers or pitch invaders were funny as. Good on them.”
It’s not the first time this year that a Warriors game outside of Auckland has been marred by pitch invasions.
In March, Sky Stadium called for stiffer penalties for pitch invaders after two security staff were injured during an NRL game between the Warriors and the Newcastle Knights at the Wellington venue.
On that night, 12 people were also arrested for illegally entering the field of play.
