All Blacks win but Hansen not overly pleased
New Zealand might have got their Rugby Championship defence off to a perfect start, but head coach Steve Hansen was unhappy with the tries they conceded.
Argentina captain Agustín Creepy scored two tries off the back of rolling mauls to add some respectability to the scoreline in Christchurch.
Hansen expects a simliar tactic from South Africa when the two teams meet next weekend but outlined his frustrations with the laws.
He also expects his team to improve next week despite the 39-18 win.
"I think it is illegal obstruction. I have been saying it for years, but no-one wants to listen so it is not unusual that.
"There are some things we can do a lot better. One of key things we didn't do quite right tonight is break it (the driving maul) down early enough. I am not talking about doing it illegally but we just didn't get in on the ball or on their wedges quick enough."
