Botswana Rugby Union (BRU) Disciplinary Committee (DC) is investigating the fracas that broke out during a Super Rugby match between Canon Jaguars and BDF Cheetahs on Saturday at the SSKB Stadium.

The incident led to the match being abandoned just seconds before full-time.

Cheetahs players are accused of raining blows on their opponents and also manhandling Jaguars manager, Feddy Mutenheri. The game was marred by poor officiating with the referee cautioning the wrong player at some stage, before reversing his decision five minutes later following the intervention of the touchline judge.
