The All Blacks believed they should have been awarded a penalty in the dying moments, with a scrum given
New Zealand and the British and Irish Lions could not be separated as they played out a 15-15 draw in their series decider in Auckland on Saturday.
The All Blacks had led 12-6 at half-time through tries from Ngani Laumape and Jordie Barrett, and had blown at least two other clear try-scoring opportunities.
But three penalties from Farrell and a monster from Elliot Daly from beyond halfway tied it up at 12-12 with 20 minutes to go.
