All Blacks coach Ian Foster has dismissed any perceived treachery behind Sir Steve Hansen's presence in the Wallabies' pre-World Cup camp.

On the eve of this year's tournament in France, the 2015 World Cup-winning coach has caused a stir by agreeing to help old mate Eddie Jones, as he tries to make his Australian side competitive in the global showpiece.

Since taking the Wallabies reins for the second time in his career, Jones has gone winless through Rugby Championship and Bledisloe campaigns this season, and is clearly under fire from media and fans back home.

Foster admits he's amused by the fuss, but doesn't seem to have taken the move by his former boss personally.

The All Blacks will take on the Springboks at 6.30am this Saturday at Twickenham Stadium, while the Wallabies will meet France at 3.45am Monday.
