Coach Ian Foster wants his All Blacks to focus on claiming their own grand slam next weekend when they face South Africa looking for a clean sweep in The Rugby Championship after handing the world champions a narrow loss on Saturday.
"Quite frankly, you go up to the Six Nations and if they win five games they celebrate it as a Grand Slam, and we've got that chance now in The Rugby Championship to have a grand slam opportunity next week," said Foster. The All Blacks have dominated this year's Rugby Championship despite not being at full strength, with Savea serving as stand-in captain in the absence of Sam Whitelock while Aaron Smith and Richie Mo'unga have also been sidelined."We are making strides on the physical side of the game and we are making some strides in our ability to deal with set piece pressure and how we go about it," he said.
