RWC 2023 Tickets: New Zealand coach Ian Foster 'I don't believe its all doom and gloom'

Following back-to-back losses to Ireland and France, Foster has faced a barrage of criticism, with calls in the media for him to be removed by Canterbury Crusaders coach Scott Robertson. New Zealand coach Ian Foster feels that 2021 was a one-of-a-kind season and that there is no reason to be concerned merely because the All Blacks lost their final two European matches against Ireland and France.

Following the 40-25 loss to France on Saturday, Foster has faced a barrage of criticism at home, with calls in the media for him to be sacked by Canterbury Crusaders coach Scott Robertson. I understand why people are frustrated because we lost two games, and it's difficult to explain the conditions in which we've found ourselves, said Foster, who is under contract until after the France Rugby World Cup 2023.

I don't want to appear as if we're making excuses, but this has been a particularly trying year in many respects. We've been on the road for 13 weeks, played two sets of five test matches in a row, and at the conclusion of two of them, we've run out of steam."

Given the quarantine and constraints that the southern hemisphere teams were forced to face, Foster, who led the All Blacks to 12 wins and three losses in 2021, believes the southern hemisphere teams arguably played too much rugby this year. In this particular gap, the northern hemisphere teams were obviously much fresher than the southern hemisphere teams, he added.

I don't think everything is doom and gloom. I'm quite proud of what this bunch has accomplished. It's been a once-in-a-lifetime experience, spending three months mostly in hotels. For the sake of the group's health, we've had to rotate our team more. That will probably damage us in the short term, but it will provide us with a lot of depth and options in the long run.

Foster stated that he was determined to deliver a good team for the Rugby World Cup 2023 and that he would not be diverted from his mission by a few performances at the end of the year. He explained, "I know everyone bays for blood at times like this, and that's the essence of the business." Our goal, however, is to ensure that we have the correct plan in place for the Rugby World Cup.
