Ian Foster is destined to become the All Blacks' Allister Coetzee
Allister Coetzee used 70 per cent of Rassie Erasmus’ victorious Rugby World Cup ’19 troops during the most dismal ever period in Springbok rugby history and Ian Foster is now now following in his footsteps by turning the once-revered All Black rugby machine into a squad of All Blanks.
Typical copper and as blunt and to-the-man as they come; but first onto the field to personally congratulate the top players of the opposition on the rare occasions his troops fluffed their lines and never offering ANY excuse for a below par performance.
The most eye-opening trait was seeing him; sleeves rolled up; inside the team trailer passing on the team luggage upon a late arrival in SA.
A no-nonsense bloke; straight to the face with the steel in his backbone that made his troops go to war for him; a giant of a man.
