Ian Foster was one of the more polarising All Blacks coaches in recent memory. 

He took the helm after the superb record of Sir Steve Hansen, and during his time there were constant discussions surrounding his job security. 

During his tenure he had a win rate of 70% and lost New Zealand the number one world ranking, but at the same time, he won 4 Bledisloe Cups, 4 Freedom Cups, and 3 Rugby Championships, as well as coming within a point of winning the Rugby World Cup. 

Foster is still in the coaching game over in Japan, but in the meantime, he’s written a book called ‘Leading Under Pressure’, that tells the story of his time with the All Blacks.  

He told Mike Hosking he had never intended to write a book, but felt it was an important story to tell. 

“A lot of the feedback we got is that people actually saw a team go through a journey over those four years,” he said. 

“I just felt that I almost owed it to my management team and a lot of my leading players to actually tell the story of the journey of that particular team.”
