  • Varsity Cup got off to the worst possible start when the first match between UCT Ikeys and NWU was called off due to protest action.

The Varsity Cup match between UCT Ikeys and NWU Eagles was abruptly called off due to a student protest at the University of Cape Town. The protest, which involved students blocking the entrance to the rugby field, was part of a broader demonstration against financial exclusion and for the right to education.

This incident not only disrupted the game but also highlighted ongoing issues at UCT regarding student rights and university policies. The match was scheduled to be rescheduled, with the outcome to be decided by the Varsity Cup competition committee.
