on Monday increased the pressure on beleaguered coach Ian Foster saying it was clear there was"something wrong" after back-to-back Ireland defeats.
"Under pressure, they're a team that doesn't always crack but they end up making a lot more mistakes than what they'd normally make." Shelford warned that Foster could pay the price, noting he was sidelined by Covid for the All Blacks' only victory against Ireland, 42-19 in the first Test in Auckland.
Former Ireland head coach Joe Schmidt has been added to the All Blacks' coaching staff for next month's Rugby Championship, with some pundits saying the New Zealander should replace Foster.
