According to News24, The Blue Bulls Company (BBCo) apologised for the altercations that occurred at Loftus Versfeld during the Springboks and Wallabies Test. 

"Whilst we had hoped for there to be zero altercations on the day, we, unfortunately, did receive one or two minor reports of disturbances emanating from physical altercations, but none of those resulted in injuries or hospitalisation," Hugo Kemp, the BBCo operations manager, told News24 in a statement.
