If you weren't convinced by the All Blacks performance in beating Italy 27-6, you weren't the only one - Steve Hansen wasn't too impressed either.
The All Blacks forwards coach said the lack of any new injuries was probably the only good thing that could be taken out of the match.
While he later did find some positive things to say, it was clear the players on the paddock didn't perform as expected.
"Our execution was poor, our decision making was poor and we just weren't effective across the park," Hansen said.
The first 20 minutes of the game were particularly scrappy with the All Blacks playing from side to side in a bid to break the French line.
"We wanted to find space and I guess [the players] thought they had space and it just didn't work," he said.
"That gave Italy a bit of a start and put us under pressure. They're an awkward side to play against too - they didn't want to play a lot of football themselves, they just kicked the ball."
While part of the problem was the lack of rugby for the first five-eighth and half-back combination of Luke McAlister and Brendon Leonard, Hansen summed up the problems more succinctly.
"We just didn't make a lot of good decisions and that always puts you under pressure."
While it was easy to focus on the negative aspects to the performance there was a shining beacon - that being the performance of rookie lock Isaac Ross.
The three-cap Crusader, son of former All Black Jock Ross, was called into the starting XV late in the week when Ali Williams withdrew with an Achilles injury, earning big praise from the assistant coach.
"He's shown us he's going to be a tidy rugby player and as he gets older and stronger and a little bit wiser he's going to be world-class I think."
Captain Mils Muliaina said the players didn't take the opportunities presented during the first half, drawing a bollocking at the break from coach Graham Henry.
"We put a lot of pressure on ourselves. We didn't find any gaps and we just decided to try and run all over the show and that probably reflected in the way the score was at half-time. We have to be disappointed with some of those things," he said.
"We're going to have to be a whole lot better than this if we want to compete in the Tri Nations."
With the Iveco series now over the All Black coaching triumvirate aren't going to have an easy time getting their charges ready to try and retain their Tri Nations title.
"We've got to look back over the three tests," Hanson said.
"We've learned a lot about some of the players and lot of the players have learned a lot about test rugby and how to prepare for it and how not to prepare for it."
"There will be some hard work before we go into the Tri Nations."
