WELLINGTON (Reuters) - New Zealand assistant John Plumtree said Australia got away with several off-the-ball incidents in the drawn first test in Wellington and that if the referee for Sunday's second match is similarly lenient then the All Blacks will fight fire with fire.

All Blacks coach Ian Foster was particularly unhappy with some of the treatment dished out to Richie Mo'unga, saying on Monday the flyhalf was the victim of several late tackles that were not picked up by referee Paul Williams of New Zealand.
