South Africa reportedly raised formal questions about the Wallabies injuries that led to uncontested scrums in Perth last month.
Veteran prop Allan Alaalatoa has rejected suggestions the Wallabies were trying to avoid scrummaging against the Springboks in Perth after South Africa reportedly requested evidence behind injuries that led to uncontested scrums.at Optus Stadium last month saw the scrum become uncontested for safety reasons after three props came off, with Angus Bell injured, and Alaalatoa and James Slipper removed following HIAs.
Speaking from Argentina, Alaalatoa had not heard of the report but said: “Do they think I was trying to fake an HIA or something?”“That’s the first I have heard of that. What I do know is if someone has come off injured, and then we have an HIA, like we did that weekend for myself and ‘Slips’, then my understanding is they can’t return back to the field,” Alaalatoa said.
“How do we say it was done on purpose, or it actually happened in the game?” former Springbok centre Jean De Villiers said on a podcast.
