Ian Foster refusing to panic, despite third defeat of 2021 season

All Blacks coach Ian Foster is refusing to panic, despite suffering a second straight defeat and third this year, with a 40-25 loss to France in Paris.

A week after their 29-20 loss to Ireland in Dublin, New Zealand were exposed again by a northern hemisphere side starving them of possession.

But coach Foster insists the latest defeat is not cause for alarm just yet, crediting France for an outstanding performance.

He says there's no denying, the last two games were tough for them, and they have come across two very good teams at the end of their season.

In other matches, the Vodafone Flying Fijians had to settle for a 15-all draw against Georgia, England edged South Africa 27-26, Scotland defeated Japan 29-20 and Wales beat the Wallabies 29-28.
