Ian Foster: Former All Blacks Coach on Despair of 2022 & Effect on his Family, World Cup Final, and New Book

Former All Blacks coach Ian Foster joins Martin Devlin on the DSPN, to chat about his new book Leading Under Pressure - a raw, reflective look back at his turbulent tenure in charge of the New Zealand national side from 2020 to 2023. Foster opens up on the heartbreak of the World Cup final loss, the relentless public pressure, and how his family bore the brunt of the criticism. He talks candidly about support from others including Team New Zealand boss Grant Dalton, and the lack of support from New Zealand Rugby during the darkest moments. Foster shares thoughts on his successor Scott Robertson’s time so far, and doubles down on keeping top players in New Zealand. Light-hearted moments also pop up, including his pre-coaching radio career.   Website: rova.nz/podcasts/dspn-devlin-sports-podcast-network Instagram: @martindevlin_dspn TikTok: @martindevlin_dspn YouTube: @DevlinSportsPodcastNetwork Learn more about your ad choices.
