To ensure the safety of players and officials, Free State Rugby had to install temporary fences to prevent supporters from entering the field directly from the stands. However, supporters can still access the field after the match through the blue gates in the northwestern and southwestern corners and meet the Toyota Cheetah players behind the main stand.
