But New Zealand coach Steve Hansen's adamant that those questions didn't determine the outcome of Saturday's 36-34 loss to South Africa in Wellington. "We lost the game because we allowed South Africa to score 36 points and that's something that we can control as a team. It's a team game and, in this case, I know Beauden's feeling it and he'll be disappointed but he'll come out next week maybe and kick a hundred per cent. Hansen had the same attitude towards referee Nigel Owens and whether he might've penalised South Africa in the frantic moments after the final hooter. "The result is a credit to South Africa, they played particularly well and we'll come out of it with a lot of things to work on."
