Was it a case of the All Blacks' physicality and efficiency being the difference?
"Certainly at times. Summarising the game from our point of view, we wanted a fast start and we didn’t get that.
"We leaked 17 points early on. We were very pleased to get back in the game, but then New Zealand are good around half-time and we’d focused on that.
"The boys did well to get back into the game and we started the second-half as we hoped, scoring first and getting within seven. Unfortunately after that, we weren’t able to exit and that’s down to the pressure they put on us.
"That was disappointing to concede and from there, we chased the game a bit. Chasing the game saw the score run away a bit for them."
Is it a case of needing to muscle up?
"Certainly. They’ve got speed of ball in our 22 which all teams are after.
"We weren’t able to do that. Like all good New Zealand teams, you question some of the angles but it worked on the day and we have to combat that.
"We’ll look at that for next week."
How did you rate Rio Dyer's debut?
"First of all, Rhys Priestland’s kick-offs were on the money and gave our chasers an opportunity.
"I thought Rio did very well chasing kicks and to score that try was fantastic. Just a shame he didn’t get a double later in the game, but he did well."
What's the latest with injuries?
"We’ll assess everyone. Tommy Reffell took a bump on the ribs so we’ll monitor him.
"There’ll be sore and battered bodies. I think Alex Cuthbert will be right for next week.
"We won’t be pushing people before they’re ready."
What are the positives you can take?
“There were a lot of good individual performances but collectively as a group, we needed to be more physical and come off the line. That’s partly because of where we’re at in our season compared to them.
"Having New Zealand first up is always a challenge. There were individual performances that I won’t pull up now.
"There were moments in that game to win the scoreboard area around half-time. We’ve got to make sure when we get into a game like that, we keep it in an arm wrestle as long as possible.
"To release the pressure straight after scoring is something we need to look at."
Having not won for 70 years, how do turn convince this side they can?
“We’re certainly not conditioned to losing as they haven’t played the All Blacks that much. For the younger generation it is about the here and now.
"We prepared them well. They’re coming off some Test matches and are match-hardened at Test level. We’ll get better as we go.
"With South Africa, we had a good month building up to that as our clubs had been knocked out of competitions early. That does help, the more time you have together and New Zealand had a game last week.
"At the end of the day, we were beaten by a better side, particularly in the areas that forwards pride themselves on. It’s something we’ll work hard on."
Does this change the perception that the All Blacks are vulnerable?
"Certainly in our camp, we didn’t talk about the All Blacks being weak. We spoke about how dangerous they’d been since making changes to their backroom staff.
"Any side who puts 50 points on Argentina and 40 on Australia, you’ve got to respect them. The focus in New Zealand has been on the poor performances and not the good ones.
"Our players know if you give them time and space, they’re dangerous against anyone. That’s how it turned out today. We knew what we needed to do, but we weren’t able to execute."
