"We probably hit every emotion in the game, we showed a lot of character, with 15 minutes to go to come from eight points down was a special moment for us as a group," Robertson said. Beauden Barrett and hooker Codie Taylor failed head injury assessments, Robertson said, leaving the All Blacks sweating on their availability for a crunch game against Ireland on Friday.
"Mark Tele'a can score a try, he's a world class finisher who knows how to get to the tryline and beat a couple of people to put the ball down," Robertson said."When they are playing like they have shown this year they are a dangerous team but we maybe played a bit more rugby than them," Barrett said.
