All Blacks forwards coach Steve Hansen came in for more criticism on Wednesday as the All Black line out continues to struggle and does not look like it is going to be solver over night.
Hansen however seemed fine with all the comments coming his way and said that his former job as a policeman came with more pressure than his current job.
"It's probably to be expected," Hansen said of the gibes coming his way.
"There's no point in me getting concerned about what people are saying. I had a job before this in the police force and people talk about this being pressure. This is not pressure. " he told NZPA.
"Pressure is when you have to knock on someone's door and say, 'I'm sorry your son just died' or 'Sorry, I have to take your baby who has just died from cot death away'. That's pressure.
"This isn't pressure ... this is a game with passion about it.
"We want to win but mistakes happen. That's sport otherwise Federer would win every grand slam and Serena and wouldn't carry on like she did.
"People are human and if you are playing with humans you are going to get mistakes - you have to live with it."
Hansen stood his ground and had a bit of a dig at his critics by paraphrasing a famous line from one of America's greatest football coaches Vince Lombardi.
"Vince Lombardi probably said it first but Jack Gibson is the guy I remember saying it: 'They haven't built any statues for critics or wannabes yet'.
"So my job isn't about listening to those people. My job is about making sure that we stay on our task and stay on the job that we have to do and do it well."
To many it might not look like it but Hansen maintains that lineout is making progress but acknowledged that too many mistakes were being made.
Hansen put the errors down to "human error"and the absence of the New Zealand's best lineout forward in Ali Williams who is recovering from Achilles surgery.
"When you take Matfield out of the South Africa lineout it won't be the same lineout - they will have errors.
"We have had that ... we just got him (Williams) to where we want him and we lose him and you bring in younger players and again it is difficult.
"We have done OK in the lineout away from the South Africans apart from a couple of wobblies against Australia. But Australia have had problems against the Springboks as well.
"The lineout has become a very contestable part of the game. But if you are playing with humans there are going to be mistakes ... you just have to live with that."
"We have to go away and work harder and smarter and be strong about it."
Hansen added that he felt getting specialist lineout help from outside the All Blacks coaching staff wasn't a solution
"We have got people within our group with expertise to do it. There's no point in bringing someone else in and adding to it. We just have to make sure that we do what we want to do correctly and stay focused on our job.
"When we do that our lineout is fine as it was in the second half (against South Africa)."
