Springbok coach Peter de Villiers had accused the All Blacks of illegal scrummaging tactics, pointing the finger at Woodcock for causing much of the disruption.
But Woodcock said yesterday he had not paid much attention to the accusations.
Woodcock (27), said the All Blacks had just gone about their work last week, and he had not been penalised.
"We do everything within the laws, and do the best we can. I'm not too sure what he [de Villiers] was going on about.
"I've not looked too much into it . . . I just want to get on with the job," he said.
"We are still playing by the same rules."
He said the All Blacks were concentrating on their own technique, and they took pride in having a good set piece.
He paid tribute to scrum coach Mike Cron, who had helped to give the All Blacks a solid scrummaging unit.
Woodcock has a new partner in the scrum this weekend, with John Afoa replacing Greg Somerville.
The All Black scrum was expected to struggle this year after Otago prop Carl Hayman left for Newcastle, but it has stood strong, making mincemeat of both Ireland and England before pushing the Springboks around last weekend.
Woodcock said this weekend's test was a good opportunity for Afoa, whose game had improved greatly.
Woodcock was surprised the Springboks had not selected Sharks prop B. J. Botha, but other props had been given opportunities.
Springbok hooker and captain John Smit had plenty to say in last weekend's match, but Woodcock said he had taken little notice of him.
Smit would be a loss for the Springboks, but his likely replacement, Bismarck du Plessis, was "pretty handy".
The Springboks will name their team today before travelling to Dunedin from Wellington.
Woodcock said the suspension of Brad Thorn was a loss, a view backed up by Thorn's locking partner, Ali Williams.
"I can't speak highly enough of the guy [Thorn] to be honest. He has no barriers to what he can and can't do.
"He's got that tough mental attitude," Williams said.
He was confident Thorn's replacement, Blues lock Anthony Boric, would go "real good".
Williams said his injured ankle felt the same as it did last week, and he did not know whether he would need an operation later in the season.
He trained lightly yesterday with the squad and hoped to complete a full training today.
He was expecting a backlash from the Springboks, who would be wounded from the loss last week.
"They'll be giving it everything, like they did last week. We're going to have to lift our skills and perfect our game."
He said the All Blacks would have to lift by about 20% to combat the Springboks.
