At the next stoppage, we can’t hear what the Boks say to Ben O’Keeffe but the referee says:
“Siya, I understand what Franco [Mostert] said but I can’t do anything about that right now. If there is anything, it will be dealt with after the game if we need to… yes, we will.”

Mostert’s right arm is up around Sinckler’s face/head in the ruck but obviously nothing clear here.
The hearing will take place on Tuesday. pic.twitter.com/YbjehlvYqu
