Scotland coach Scott Johnson slammed French referee Romain Poite after a 30-17 four-nation tournament defeat by hosts South Africa Saturday.

Experienced Hamilton was sorely missed as he left the field with Scotland leading 17-13, and when he returned they were three points behind after South Africa were awarded a penalty try.
