Steve Hansen has defended the decision to parachute flanker Jerome Kaino in at lock for New Zealands first-ever defeat to Ireland.The All Blacks surrendered their record 18-match winning streak at Chicagos Soldier Field on Saturday, as Ireland prevailed 40-29 for their maiden victory over New Zealand in 111 years of trying.Brodie Retallick and Sam Whitelock missed Saturdays clash through injury and - with Luke Romano having headed home after a family bereavement - Kaino stepped into the breach.The peerless Retallick is jetting out to join the All Blacks and will be available for Saturdays Italy clash in Rome after beating concussion: but Hansen said he would have no qualms slotting Kaino in at lock in future.A lot of people are going to say that Jerome shouldnt have started at lock, but our scrum was really good, said Hansen. He scrummed well, the lineout wasnt his problem, it was a throwing problem, and Dane Coles has been throwing well all year, so were not going to lose too much sleep over that, well get him sorted pretty quickly.That middle-of-the-park role was new to him and he probably over-thought it a wee bit, therefore didnt carry as strongly as he possibly could. But before the match youd say that would be his strength, and the other thing, I think the young fella (Scott Barrett) came on and played really.But its about making sure in the long-term he gets that opportunity to play well. You wouldnt want him to come on and have a really hard first half and lose his confidence. So while he came on and did really well, do we know if hed have done that in the first half? Dont know under the circumstances.So Im still happy with the decision we made. A lot of people say its his fault the lineout, but it certainly wasnt his fault. Ive had a yarn to him and he shouldnt be beating himself up, hes done nothing wrong.We probably wont have to put JK (Kaino) back in there because Brodies on the plane and hes available for Italy if we need him. And Scottys now had a taste of it, and the longer hes here the better hes going to get. But if we had to go back there we probably would.Centre George Moala has damaged elbow ligaments and will miss the rest of New Zealands northern hemisphere tour. But playmaker Ryan Crotty could yet beat a hamstring problem in time for the France clash in Paris on Saturday, November 26.New Zealand have called up Seta Tamanivalu to replace Moala, with the Crusaders centre already in London after helping the Barbarians to a 31-31 draw with South Africa at Wembley on Saturday.Georges elbow, hes pulled the ligaments and tendons off his elbow, said Hansen of Moalas injury. He wont need an operation, but he will be out for the rest of the tour so hes going home today.Ryan Crotty has got a hamstring injury which we think should be right by France so hes going to stay. Whilst everyone else is sore the sorest part of them is their pride, so theyre fit to play.Seta is going to come in. Hes already over with the Baa-Baas, so hes going to meet us in London. Its a great opportunity, hes been in and out of the team a bit this year. For a lot of people, coming into the team is a bit overwhelming because theres so much pressure.But once youve been in a couple of times I think it becomes a little easier, so Im looking forward to how he goes. Midfield has been the cursed position this year, weve lost a few of them and a few guys (due to) retiring. Cheap Cincinnati Bengals Jerseys .
