All Blacks coach Ian Foster has told his players to trust in the work they have done as they get ready to battle Ireland in the quarterfinal.
"Quarter-finals, we don't want to die wondering, you don't want to go in your shell, you still want to play our game and it's important to us that we do."
New Zealand head coach Ian Foster says he has told his players not to “go into your shell” for Saturday’s Rugby World Cup quarter-final with Ireland as “we don’t want to die wondering” what might have been. The Irish are bidding to become the third Tier One nation to win 18 successive Tests — a run that began when they won the final two matches against the All Blacks in their historic series win last year in New Zealand.
“Quarter-finals, we don’t want to die wondering, you don’t want to go in your shell, you still want to play our game and it’s important to us that we do.”
