All Blacks coach Ian Foster believes the team can make it to the Rugby World Cup semi finals as they have been preparing well for the last three or four months.
Speaking to media on the eve of their quarter final clash with Ireland, Foster says they have always known coming to this World Cup that assuming they did the business in the pools, it was most likely Ireland or South Africa in the quarter finals.
He says either way, they’ve got a monster quarter-final and the boys are mentally prepared for the challenge.
Foster says he has full belief in this group.
When asked on his final message to the players, Foster says the players should trust themselves, trust the work they have done as a group and to trust the work they have done on the field and off the field and go out and express themselves.
The All Blacks will meet Ireland at 7am tomorrow.
In other RWC quarter finals, Wales will meet Argentina at 3am tomorrow, Fiji will play England at 3am Monday and host France will take on South Africa at 7am Monday.
