The ghost of New Zealand's 2007 World Cup exit made a return during the All Blacks' 39-21 defeat of Wales in Auckland.
With nine minutes to go, substitute halfback TJ Perenara appeared to extend the home side's 32-21 lead by scoring off a big break by first five-eighth Aaron Cruden.
However, referee Wayne Barnes called Cruden's pass to Perenara forward, overruling TMO George Ayoub in the process.
The decision ended up not affecting the outcome of the Test at Eden Park of Saturday night.
But it was Englishman Barnes who attracted the ire of New Zealand fans for his performance in the All Blacks' quarter-final loss in Cardiff nine years ago, including missing a forward pass that led to France's winning try.

Asked about the Cruden pass, All Blacks coach Steve Hansen quipped: "Well he got that one, didn't he?"
But Wales coach Warren Gatland also made reference to 2007, when he questioned the first of All Blacks wing Waisake Naholo's two tries.
That came after fullback Ben Smith pulled in a bomb and made a big run up the middle field before passing to Cruden, who continued the attack.
"Maybe the referee's made up for 2007 so I don't think the All Blacks can complain any more," he said.
"I thought that was definitely forward in the first half. If anyone disagrees with me tell me so."
Gatland said it was disappointing that Barnes didn't get Ayoub to review the pass.
"We definitely felt that was a couple metres forward."
