New Zealand Rugby Chief Executive Officer Steve Tew said the sell-out event set up the ideal backdrop to an historic occasion. "It is a special occasion taking an All Blacks Test match to Nelson for the first time and we would like to congratulate the Tasman Rugby Union for their efforts in selling the match out,”.

Head coach Leon MacDonald described it as "a tough old fight, but we got there in the end. I thought we played really well. We had a couple of calls that would have extended the scoreline [go against us] and a bit more attention to detail cost us a couple of tries … but we created plenty and it was good enough for a win.
