Eben Etzebeth has won two World Cups with South Africa
South Africa head coach Rassie Erasmus admitted "the optics weren't great" after legendary lock Eben Etzebeth was sent off for an eye gouge against Wales.
The Springboks completed an autumn clean sweep by going on the rampage in Cardiff to score 11 tries in a 73-0 win.
But almost the final act of the international year was Etzebeth, who went over for the final score, being dismissed by referee Luc Ramos.
The 34-year-old was shown a red card for making contact with the left eye of Wales flanker Alex Mann with his thumb in a 79th-minute scuffle.
