All Blacks' Irish post mortem: 'The mood and energy has now lifted', says Sam Cane

'There was some individual areas in amongst that and some decision making that got brought up in front of the team – it's never easy for individuals for that to happen'

The video review of the defeat to Ireland was never going to make for comfort viewing for the All Blacks – but the post-mortem's done now and Ian Foster's New Zealand are looking forward to righting the wrongs against France, says skipper Sam Cane.

"The guts of (the review), it was probably obvious, was that we didn't hold onto the ball very well and got smacked behind the gain line. And after that we went away from what we're good at, which is getting over the gain line and putting defences on their back-foot," Cane said.
