New Zealand Vs Uruguay: Ian Foster will help lift RWC’s chances

Posted by World Wide Tickets And Hospitality on May 31st, 2023

New Zealand rugby team coach Ian Foster believes the hardship his management team and wider playing group have gone through over the last 12 months will fuel the fire essential to win the upcoming Rugby World Cup in France. Today marks the 100-day countdown until the initial game of the competition a blockbuster between France and the New Zealand rugby team at the Stade de France in Paris.

In a discussion with media person Andrew Saville to mark the case, Foster reproduced how difficult it is to win an RWC 2023 away from home but suggested the stormy last year may have provided an important piece of the puzzle. Asked whether he was poised of feat, Foster replied, “Very”, adding, we’ve seen some huge growth in some players over the last 12 months.

The adversity we’ve gone through you choose how you want to use that, and I think that’s toughened us up. Last year the New Zealand rugby team lost the home series to Ireland and while they won the Rugby Championship, they lost to Argentina at home for the first time their lacklustre performance against South Africa in Mbombela put a huge amount of analysis on Foster and his RWC supporters.

33 men squad for the France Rugby World Cup

While they eventually gained a vote of confidence from the New Zealand Rugby Board, it was last year that the new New Zealand rugby team head coach from 2024 onwards would be proclaimed this year before the France Rugby World Cup and in March Scott Robertson was named as Foster's heir. In the talk with Saville, Foster, will name a group of 36 for the Rugby Contest in late June and a squad of 33 for the world cup.

I think the group’s in a great spot. We’re a very fixated group going into a world cup. We’re not being talked about the same way as other teams are. I don’t care about that because I believe that once we touch the ground in France people are going to know that we’re in town and they’ll see us as a major risk. We’ve only won one away from home and we know how hard it is.

Being there in 2015, it’s very special when you have to perform away from home, but it requires real steel and resolve and maybe the last 12 months have been good for us in that space. Foster said it would be important to make every day and game count before the Rugby World Cup 2023. New Zealand begin their Rugby Championship drive against Argentina in Mendoza on July 8.

Test games before RWC

He said New Zealand would hold a short camp for those not involved in the Super Rugby final, arranged for June 24, with the rest of the team joining on the Tuesday after the final. In 2019 we gave a lot of leeway to the finals teams to have a break after Super Rugby and didn’t play them against Argentina and carried them in late to the South Africa Test a draw in Wellington and suffered with unity in those first couple of Tests, he said.

We have five Tests before the France Rugby World Cup and they’re all big Tests, we play Argentina in Mendoza and South Africa here at Mt Smart Stadium we haven’t played them here for a long time. They could be a possible quarter-finalist for us and we don’t want to waste that chance. New Zealand also plays the Wallabies home and away and South Africa at Twickenham in a one-off RWC warm-up.

We’re thrilled about RWC 2023

There are a variety of players with injury problems, most remarkably at the Crusaders who have lost props Fletcher Newell, Joe Moody and George Bower, along with wing Sevu Reece and possibly midfielder David Havili for the rest of the season but most, apart from Bower and Reece with knee injuries, should be accessible for France Rugby World Cup.

We’re thrilled about where we are, and what I love about this world cup is game one; it’s France, it’s the Stade de France, big game, high hopes on them and high prospects on us, Foster said. We want to play a fast game, a physical game that we know we’re good at. We want to get that nice mixture of a kicking game and ball-in-hand game and go into an RWC with a huge degree of confidence.

Why there’s just one uncapped player ready for the New Zealand Rugby World Cup side

During this year’s super rugby pacific drive, New Zealand rugby team cliques have engaged in seemingly endless discussions surrounding the makeup of the RWC squad. Veteran players including Beauden Barrett have come under fire following a series of unusually poor acts, while uncapped talents may have timed their run to excellence. With 100 days to go until the start of this year’s world cup in September.

There are still a lot of queries that remain unanswered about Ian Foster’s team. Whether or not a bolter will make the respected 33-player team remains to be seen, but all rugby admirers, pundits and retired greats have an opinion. Analyst Ken Laban trusts there’s only one uncapped player who will make the New Zealand rugby side squad, and that’s Chiefs flyer Shaun Stevenson.

In my view, the only player who’s not an All Black that’s going to get picked in that side is going to be Shaun Stevenson, Laban told media. In my view, everybody else has either been there before or isn’t prepared. Overall, the best player in New Zealand that’s not an All-Black is Shaun Stevenson and he can play 14 or 15, the All-Blacks have got a past of picking 15s who can play 14 and can do it well.

He’s tall, he’s big, he’s fast, he’s in great form and he’s a terrific talent for Rugby World Cup

Stevenson has been nothing brief of dramatic for the ladder leaders this season. Not many rugby fans would affect Laban some would even have Stevenson on their initial side. Earlier this month, Stevenson confidently told the media that he was ready to play Test rugby. Those ups and downs and playing Maori All Blacks and All Blacks XV, I think I am prepared to play Test rugby, Stevenson said.

If I do get a call-up, I’ll be very grateful to signify my nation, if I do get the chance to represent my country I’ll try to take it with two hands. With the sureness that I’m trying to play with at the moment, hopefully, I can put that on the field and not shy away that it’s a step up but it’s the same players you’re playing in Super Rugby. Once we get there, I’ll have to lean on some of the older boys in terms of some skill.
