New pressure for Ian Foster

Before just two weeks, Ian had huge support from the New Zealand Rugby. But now he is under new pressure because of the third loss in the row at home. After a victory in the match against South Africa, Foster got support from the New Zealand Rugby, but then he was defeated against Argentina. And if he would be defeated one more time, this could be the end for him. 

It's clear that if he would be defeated in this match, this would be the end. It looks like he didn’t do anything to improve their performance. In the last changes, Ian wasn’t fired, but two assistant coaches were defeated after a home defeat against Ireland. 

New Zealand Rugby was very happy after a big victory because everyone could see that all changes were successful. However, All Blacks were never defeated in the last three home matches in the last 119 years. 

In this season they have 4 defeats. The last time when this happened was 1998 when they were defeated 5 times. And 1949 they were defeated six times. In future matches, they will need to improve their performance if they want to change their current result.
