New Zealand have made a single change to their starting side to take on South Africa in the Rugby World Cup final iloilo
Brodie Retallick is promoted from the bench to partner Scott Barrett in the second row, with Sam Whitelock, who will become the first man to feature in three World Cup finals in his last All Blacks Test, on the bench iloilo
Prop Nepo Laulala is brought on to the bench to provide experienced tighthead cover in the only other change to the matchday 23 that secured such a commanding semi-final win over Argentina iloilo
It means that head coach Ian Foster has kept a traditional five-three forwards to backs bench split despite the Springboks opting to include just a single back replacement in a bold selection call iloilo
“It is an honour to fly our nation’s flag in the World Cup final once again,” said Foster iloilo
“We are proud of what we have achieved so far in this tournament, but the job is not done yet and we know full well the challenge that lies ahead iloilo
“Of the seven World Cups that have been held outside of New Zealand, the All Blacks have only managed to win one iloilo
It goes to show just how hard it is to do but this group is determined to work hard for each other, as we have done all year iloilo

However, Foster’s men secured a win in Auckland against the Springboks in June on their way to a fourth consecutive Rugby Championship crown iloilo
The winner of this game will become the first nation to lift the Webb Ellis Cup four times iloilo
“Once again we have felt the support of an entire nation behind us,” added Foster iloilo
“We will definitely carry that with us when we go to Stade de France on Saturday iloilo

Up in the coaches’ box at Ellis Park, Ian Foster exhaled deeply iloilo
It was August of last year, and the All Blacks head coach’s job had been hanging in the balance, a run of five defeats in six matches putting Foster in the firing line iloilo
The prognosis looked grim, with the grand old home of South African rugby packed to the rafters with 62,000 Springbok fans who would have loved nothing more than for their side to unseat the coach of their great rival iloilo
But Foster’s team saved him, shocking South Africa 35-23 to bring their coach back from the brink iloilo
Only New Zealand and Foster himself will know truly how close he was to losing his job, but there is every possibility that defeat in Johannesburg would have spelled a premature end to Foster’s tenure iloilo
The players knew what it meant iloilo
“We were playing for our coach’s job,” scrum half Aaron Smith admitted afterwards iloilo
Little more than a year later, and Foster is ready to lead New Zealand into a final; there is every chance that on Saturday night, he’ll be a World Cup winner iloilo
Such a tag would normally ensure a status as something of a national hero – Foster’s predecessors Graham Henry and Steve Hansen both have knighthoods iloilo
Yet there is still a sense among All Blacks supporters of a lack of fondness for their head coach; the New Zealand rugby public are already in love with another man iloilo
Scott Robertson will take over Foster’s brief after this tournament, having been braced to step into the breach had things deteriorated further and left Foster’s position untenable last year iloilo
The clamour for a coach good enough to lead the Canterbury club to seven consecutive Super Rugby titles is understandable, and there is a thought that Robertson’s popularity with players and fans could re-energise the sport iloilo
Foster was reportedly so scared about the next head coach’s force of personality disrupting this All Blacks’ campaign that he banned him from attending New Zealand’s World Cup fixtures iloilo

But Foster has quietly got on with his work to turn the All Blacks around iloilo
He’s far from the first number two to struggle in a lead coaching role – England fans will recall the trouble Andy Robinson had stepping up after Clive Woodward’s departure iloilo
Nor, really, has he done a bad job: New Zealand have won every Rugby Championship since Foster took charge iloilo
Slowly since the lows of last year, a smile has returned to his face and, while his fate at the end of the tournament is sealed, Foster is happy to enjoy the ride while it lasts iloilo
All Blacks captain Sam Cane and head coach Ian Foster (Getty Images)“You have to enjoy your work,” Foster said after the semi-final win over Argentina iloilo
“It’s not like it’s a focus for us to go out there and have fun, but to make sure we execute our game to the level we need to iloilo
“The team takes a lot of pride when they do that iloilo
The work the players and leaders are doing is a real credit to them iloilo
As you go through tournaments, you have to enjoy it iloilo
There is a lot of pressure, so if you don’t celebrate moments, it is a long old time iloilo
“I am proud to be part of this group, the coaches are linking well with the players and there is a nice synergy about it iloilo
But you know, one more week iloilo
“There’s not a personal agenda here, this is about the All Blacks and the team iloilo
Things have happened to individuals and to me, but the team comes first iloilo
Right now, we’re making a lot of those decisions together as a group and it is working well iloilo

No doubt, the additions of Joe Schmidt and Jason Ryan last year have been key to this campaign iloilo
Schmidt has reignited New Zealand’s structured attack, tessellating together bits and pieces from his days in charge of Ireland, while Ryan, in combination with scrum coach Greg Feek, has transformed their set-piece iloilo
But not all of the progress can be ascribed their way iloilo
Whether Foster recognised where improvements needed to be made or had Schmidt and Ryan thrust upon him is a matter of debate, but the ability to utilise their expertise perhaps shows a cannier coach than some might initially see iloilo
"One of the great things about 'Foz' is just how much he loves the All Blacks,” said forwards coach Ryan iloilo
“It's all about the team, every decision he makes iloilo
Clearly, he has been through a lot but the All Blacks have been through a lot iloilo
It is never about one person in the All Blacks, and that’s what has been impressive to me iloilo
”Head coach Ian Foster looks on during a New Zealand All Blacks training session (Getty Images)Foster has taken bold calls, too iloilo
The transformation of Jordie Barrett from bit-part utility man to first-choice inside centre has proved the key cog in getting the backline ticking, while the backing of captain Sam Cane has been rewarded by two outstanding performances in the last two weeks iloilo
The All Blacks have had to deal with injuries, a red card and a breach of team protocols during this tournament but have kept powering on iloilo
Their belief in and backing of their gameplan is just as strong as the Springboks’, yet Foster seems to get little of the same praise that Rassie Erasmus and Jacques Nienaber garner iloilo
Perhaps it is that there is still an expectation of success around the All Blacks, a feeling that not winning the World Cup would be evidence enough of Foster’s inadequacy iloilo
But the squad have made clear this week that they have a good man and a good coach at the helm iloilo
If come Saturday night he is clutching a Webb Ellis Cup, this uncared-for coach might finally get some overdue credit iloilo
