Bernard Foley says he did not deliberately waste time in the dying stages of the Wallabies' Bledisloe Cup Test loss, citing crowd noise as a reason he could not hear the referee's instructions.
Referee Mathieu Raynal pinged Foley for taking too long to kick the ball into touch after the Wallabies were awarded a penalty in the 79th minute while leading the All Blacks 37-34 at a sold-out Docklands stadium in Melbourne.
