BRISBANE, Sept 19 — All Blacks coach Ian Foster insists winning Test matches is all that matters, downplaying their return to the top of the world rankings as “not on our minds at all”.

The bonus-point victory over Los Pumas all but sealed the Rugby Championship for New Zealand, who face the Springboks in Townsville next week — the 100th Test between the two sides — ahead of a return leg on the Gold Coast. “It’s probably the first time South Africa have played against a team that’s played with a lot of tempo in the last two years. I think they’ll learn a lot from that.”

Foster said he was encouraged by the form shown by younger players like Samisoni Taukei’aho, Tupou Vaa’i, Hoskins Sotutu and Ethan Blackadder, and the experience had been good for them.
