All Blacks coach Steve Hansen has stood by his comments regarding the so-called Mad Monday celebrations in the wake of the Chiefs stripper scandal when he said the often boozy occasions should be kicked for touch.
Speaking to press in Hamilton ahead of Saturday night's test against Argentina, Hansen said lessons needed to be learned and changes made in the future.
"I've said that so of course I'm going to stand by it. This press conference is not about what the Chiefs did, we're here to talk about the test match. I haven't changed my view. I was disappointed when I heard about it at the time and I think Mad Mondays have to get kicked for touch."
Hansen also spoke of his relief at the closure of the New Zealand Rugby investigation into the actions of the Chiefs players during their Mad Monday celebrations.
