Eben Etzebeth and Allan Alaalatoa share a beer after furious altercation
- 8994
Eben Etzebeth and Allan Alaalatoa buried the hatchet soon after their altercation in the latter stages of Australia and South Africa's Rugby Championship clash on Saturday.
Clips and images of pair locked in a scuffle went viral on Saturday after some pushing and shoving after Makazole Mapimpi's try.
Mapimpi was denied a try last week by a tackle by Marika Koroibete but got one over his opposite winger this week.
The Springbok flyer got caught up in the moment and shoved Koroibete in the face after dotting down which sparked the mass scuffle between the two sides.
Etzebeth and Alaalatoa's scuffle took centre stage.

However, the pair met in the changing rooms after the game with the Wallabies' Twitter account sharing a video showing the two pairs sharing a beer.
Alaalatoa grabs a cold one from the fridge and then heads for Etzebeth, the pair shake hands and all is forgotten and forgiven.
Friends in the end. 🤝#AUSvRSA
