The Glasgow loosehead prop came off the bench as Scotland ran the world champions close, eventually falling to a 42-28 defeat. Sutherland's appearance completed a memorable journey from his international debut against Ireland in 2016 to membership of Scotland's 50-cap club.
Reflecting on the achievement, Sutherland paid tribute to those who had supported him throughout his career.
"The cap's not only mine, but it belongs to everyone that's been on the journey along with me."
