The Australian was furious at the 'handbags' sin binning of lock Jim Hamilton just past the hour mark after he pushed his hands into the face of Springbok second rower Eben Etzebeth. 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.

The New South Wales Waratahs kept their slim Super 15 finals hopes alive with a 28-13 win over the Western Force in Perth on Sunday.
