Former All Blacks coach John Hart says players should be blamed and not Ian Foster for the All Blacks two losses.

Hart coached the All Blacks from 1996-1999.

Speaking to Newshub.co.nz, Hart says the discipline of players are letting down the team and the All Blacks gave away a lot of penalties that they should not be doing.

He also highlighted that the Dane Coles incident last Saturday is unnecessary and this puts a lot of pressure on the team.

The 75-year-old was particular of the lack of discipline shown in both losses, to the Wallabies in Brisbane and last week against Argentina.

All Blacks lost Ofa Tuungafasi to a red card in the first half against the Wallabies, which was followed by the sin-binning of Scott Barrett in the dying stages with the game hanging in the balance.

Against Argentina, Shannon Frizell and Coles were both guilty of lashing out and costing the All Blacks field position and points.

The All Blacks have a bye this weekend before facing Argentina again in their final Tri-Nations match next Saturday.

Meanwhile, the Wallabies will meet Argentina at 8.45pm this Saturday.
