Winger Mark Telea had been dropped from the New Zealand lineup for Saturday’s World Cup quarter-final with Ireland after breaking team protocol.
“He breached protocol, nothing major but it kept him out of selection,” said Foster at a press conference after unveiling the team. Foster, whose job looked to be at risk last year due to a series of poor results, grew increasingly testy at being asked further questions about the incident. Foster made six changes from the team that began the 73-0 drubbing of Uruguay in the All Blacks’ last pool match.
