SHOCKING scenes occurred as a rugby match was abandoned due to brawling players and rowdy fans.
The disgraceful moments broke out during a huge rugby game in Wales on Wednesday night.
A rival clash between Swansea University and Cardiff University ended in chaos as 30 players fought on the pitch.
Things had threatened to spill over throughout the whole match.
But tensions came to a head in the 78th minute with visitors Cardiff leading 28-19.
One of their players was subjected to a high tackle by a home Swansea player.
This saw Cardiff team-mates leap to their pal’s defence, sparking a mass brawl involving all 30 players.
Members of the 1,000-strong student crowd then started joining in the ruckus, with some even throwing cups of beer over the squabbling stars.
Referee Adam Jones could not break things up as he repeatedly blew his whistle in desperation.
But players from both sides eventually cooled off before Jones decided to call time on the game and abandon it with two minutes remaining.

He told Swansea and Cardiff: “That is completely unacceptable, what I have just witnessed there from them, okay?
“The game is abandoned, it’s as simple as that. I’m not playing on when that has just happened, boys.”
Jones then took his frustration out on a member of the crowd as he ordered security to remove them.
It is unclear what the individual did to evoke the ref’s rage.
But Jones demanded: “That person needs to leave.”
It now remains to be seen whether Cardiff will be granted the win, with both teams in danger of being relegated from the BUCS Super League.
Jones added: “It’s up to them to decide what happens now.”
Cardiff boss Chris Davies said: “It’s a disappointing end to the game.”
Player Tomi Booth echoed: “It’s a stupid way to finish the game but it’s five points on the board.”
