Ireland fly-half Ronan O'Gara has shrugged off comments from New Zealand coach Steve Hansen.
The All Blacks boss has said that he believed the Irish had reached their peak in the second Test in Christchurch on Saturday after a late Dan Carter kick gave the hosts a 22-19 victory. However, O'Gara refuses to read too much into Hansen's remarks.
"A lot of that, you can read into it after an event. You could say that it is condescending but I don't think it was meant like that," said O'Gara.
"We all speak with emotions sometimes and that was what Steve felt at the time. I would have no problem with that."
Ireland lost the first Test at Eden Park 42-10.
