Ian Foster says "there is no doubt that I am under pressure, but I'm always under pressure and always felt that pressure ... as an All Blacks coach you live in that world all the time. Does it hurt? Yes it does. But the key thing is that I do everything I can to make sure we have the right people in the right seats."

On the silence from the past week and the cancelled press conference, Ian Foster says "I understand the frustration. I as a head coach would never ever not communicate with my fan base when it's expected. I know my responsibility to talk to the fan base and if I knew that I would do that all the time

Ian Foster says the All Blacks have a "clear plan" for how they are going to move forward.
"We understand the fans aren't happy ... but you have a promise that we are looking forward to getting stuck into our work."
Lol what a pile of shit. He'll be excited next

Have to look at the spineless leadership from the CEO and board.

Ian Foster says Joe Schmidt helped picked the team in his new role as independent selector after replacing Grant Fox. However, Schmidt will not be travelling with the squad to South Africa.
That will work then LOL

Ian Foster says "will there be some change? Yes there will." But he doesn't say what change is actually coming.
As close to a Bob Dylan tribute as we are likely to get. Colour me rather underwhelmed.

So minimal player changes, including dumb selections like the woman beater, no leadership changes, no coaching changes, and only using Schmidt as a selector. Everything is fine. Fucking delusional.

Happy to see Dickson in there and could be a chance to get a bench gig in SA with Retallick definitely out and Barrett under a cloud.
I don’t mind so much that basically the same players are selected, I just hope to see a couple of better combinations, for instance the Saders or Blues 10-12-13 or the Saders back 3 or the Blues loose forwards, the Saders locks, 2/3 of a Chiefs front row.
At least they will know each other’s names and how the guy next to them plays. In normal circumstances what franchise they play for, I couldn’t care less, but we are in a deep hole teamwork wise and we need to find a bit of cohesion. Rebuild some confidence too. When the squad is confident it’s a little easier to make changes when required.

Sounds like either Foster still has some say or Schmidt doesn't want too much of his name tacked onto the spare tire of the "learnings" bus.

SENZ radio said the PR team at NZR refused to let media live stream the press conference. This is just really dumb media relations. The organisation is looking completely incompetent.
