VIDEO: Eben and Allan show the true spirit of rugby

WATCH as Eben Etzebeth and Allan Alaalatoa enjoy a beer together after Springboks’  24-8 win over Wallabies in Sydney on Saturday.

The two were in a massive scuffle following a try scored by Makazole Mapimpi for the Springboks in the 71st minute.

With the scoreline 17-3 in Sprinboks’ favour, the South African wing held off three Wallabies players to touch down in the left-hand corner and his reaction after the grounding towards Marika Koroibete resulted in the ensuing brawl breaking out when other players joined.

The incident, which carried on at the perimeter wall with supporters within a hair’s breadth of the arguing players, appeared to be calming down only for it to flare up again behind the tryline with Etzebeth and Alaalatoa going head-to-head against each other.

However, after the match, the pair quickly left the encounter on the pitch and enjoyed a beer together.
