Israel Folau was pissed off with match‑winning teammate Tevita Kuridrani after the Wallabies get‑out‑of‑jail win over Scotland.

Kuridrani told the Daily Telegraph that it is an issue that the team will have to deal with afterwards as Israel Folau was angry that Kuridrani did not pass him the ball to score the winning try.

After making a break in the midfield in the 75th minute with Australia trailing 22‑16, Kuridrani decided not to pass to Folau, who was unmarked and open.

Kuridrani instead made a dummy and ran for the try line.

The Fiji-born centre said that he heard Folau calling for the ball but wanted to score the try and make up for a miss tackle earlier in the match.

Israel Folau who was playing his 50th Test against Scotland has not scored a try in his past nine Tests.

The Wallabies will meet France at 9am this Sunday while the Vodafone Flying Fijians play England at 3.30am Sunday.
