MELBOURNE (Reuters) - Wallabies players refused to weigh into controversy swirling around team mate Nic White on Monday after furious South African media accused the scrumhalf of milking a yellow card in the Rugby Championship test over the weekend.

With South Africa on the offensive late in the first half at Adelaide Oval, White was slapped in the face by Faf de Klerk at the back of a five-metre scrum and slumped to his knees.
