All Blacks coach Steve Hansen has clashed verbally with an Irish television interviewer after taking offence at her inference New Zealand are a "dirty side".
Hansen bristled during a sideline interview with Irish television's Claire McNamara at Dublin's Aviva Stadium following New Zealand's 21-9 win.
McNamara quizzed Hansen about thehigh penalty count against the All Blacks.
He replied: "You always want the ref to be consistent so let's leave it at that."
But McNamara pressed further, asking if there was a dangerous element to some of the tackles.
Hansen said: "I don't think so, this is a moving game. The first one where we got penalised was a head clash.
"The one on the far side was obviously a little high and across the shoulder but I don't think there was any malice in it.
"Rugby is a shifting game when you've got ball carriers that move as well as the Irish do, they are going to change direction so people are going to sometime make mistakes and sometime people fall into tackles.
