Assistant coach Scott Hansen said all aspects of that side of their game have been examined in the review, especially the ability to adapt and adjust to better match circumstances.
Hansen said that while proud of their effort, the All Blacks were disappointed that they didn't finish off what they felt was an opportunity to win a Test at Ellis Park against the world champions.
Having a second chance to play the Springboks would be good.
"When you're playing a team twice, it's the ability to adjust. We've faced them, we understand them now. They'll see opportunities like we have today through the review process, where we feel there are opportunities we can establish our game.
"They're very good at squeezing teams, we need to be better at how we adapt during it but as well as that keeping our ability to attack to find space, be decisive."
They had scored four tries to have South Africa on the ropes, but they didn't finish the job.
He said flanker Dalton Papali'i was expected to be fit to be considered for the Cape Town Test.
While some sore bodies were brought in from Johannesburg, the team was not expecting any injuries to prevent players from being considered for the weekend.
Hansen said with northern hemisphere referees controlling the games, they will have Matthew Carley from England, and they need to show better accuracy in all game areas while adapting to the referee's demands.
When substitutes came on for the last quarter, it was important to make smart decisions and achieve accuracy in technique, which they didn't achieve. That was an accumulation of the pressure the side was under, with the warning for penalties in their 22m area a concern.
They had plans to exit their territory before the game but could not achieve them, so they lost the test.
"We need to get out of those corners better and more efficiently. We have discussed that."
Hansen said the team hadn't spoken about the try awarded to South African hooker Bongi Mbonambi, it was for others to do that.
