The FNB Varsity Cup match between the NMMU Madibaz and hosts UFS Shimlas at Shimla Park in Bloemfontein, was disrupted on Monday night due to a protest action.

Play was stopped 17 minutes into the first half, when protesters invaded the field of play, at which stage the Shimlas were leading 12-7.

The match resumed approximately an hour after the police and university security settled the situation and both teams agreed to continue with the match.

Shimlas in the end beat the Madibaz 46-19 in their first home game of the season.
