The match between MSP and Old Boys University clubs at Wellington College on Saturday was marred by a brawl in the final minutes, which Evans said involved players and spectators.
Wellington Rugby is investigating the incident, which Evans said involved allegations of racial and physical abuse towards its players by OBU supporters and ex-players.
"It is clear some of our players became upset following repeated, vile racial slurs and the attack on the father of one our players by an intoxicated group of OBU supporters. Just as violence cannot be tolerated, the kind of racial abuse witnessed on Saturday has no place in our game or society," Evans said.
