New Zealand centre Sonny Bill Williams declared 15-year-old Charlie Lines "part of the team" after being reunited with the young All Blacks fan he handed his World Cup winner's medal to.
Williams placed his medal around the young All Blacks fan's neck after he was tackled by security guards when trying to celebrate with the team.
Lines then kissed the medal and gave cross-code superstar Williams a hug.
In a Twitter post on Monday, Williams shared a picture of himself and Lines posing with the souvenir, and wrote: "Good to see the young fulla today, ur part of the team now bro."
Lines had been accosted by stewards as he raced on to the pitch in celebration after New Zealand's 34-17 victory over Australia at Twickenham.
"A young fella came sprinting on and he got smoked by the security guard," the 30-year-old Williams said afterwards. "It was pretty sad. He's just a young fella obviously caught up in the moment.
"Why not try and make a young fella's night? Hopefully he'll remember it for a while.
"I know he'll appreciate it and when he gets older he'll be telling kids - that's more special than it just hanging on a wall."
On Sunday, Williams was given a replacement medal at World Rugby's awards ceremony.
"I'm really surprised. Most of the boys would have done the same," said Williams.
