Wallabies legend David Campese says the All Blacks have lost their "aura" and coach Ian Foster won't last in the role.

Campese says the All Blacks' dominance in world rugby in recent years was is largely due to regular trans-Tasman fixtures.

He says if you take Australia away, New Zealand wouldn’t be anywhere near where they are.

The 101-cap Wallabies veteran also claimed the All Black ex-factor is no more, pointing to a lack of level-headed performances amongst the up-and-coming players during Sunday's draw against Australia in Wellington.

He says the All Blacks have lost something and they didn’t have that composure and panicked a bit, which they normally don’t do.

Campese also criticised the appointment of Ian Foster as All Blacks coach, claiming he won't last longer than his contracted tenure of two years.

The All Blacks will face the Wallabies at 3pm this Sunday.
