New Zealand tackle arch foes South Africa in the Rugby Championship in Johannesburg on Saturday and a sixth loss in seven Tests.
Ian Foster is battling to survive as New Zealand coach after nine losses in 26 matches.JOHANNESBURG - The New Zealand Herald has called embattled All Blacks coach Ian Foster"a decent man who is out of his depth in a brutal business" as he prepares for a Test that could seal his fate.
Following almost a decade assisting head coach Steve Hansen, the 57-year-old former fly-half took charge of the All Blacks after a semi-final defeat by England at the 2019 Rugby World Cup. "I do not think Foster can save his job now. The noise is too loud. He really is on borrowed time," says Stuff website columnist Mark Reason, who called the All Blacks"a laughing stock".
Senior New Zealand Herald sport writer Chris Rattue has labelled Foster"among the worst All Blacks coaches in history". "I understand the frustration, but that does not change what we have to do. There is no point sulking. We must go to Ellis Park believing we will win."
