The ref was asleep for most of the game so not surprised he missed that even though his ear was one foot away from the No.11 face at the time, as he was spraying the mark.

My guess is with the No.11s education level, NZ is an island full of coconut palm trees and coral reefs and they probably were all joking on the bus before the game about all the NZ players and whatever word was used.
