is pretty special.

This was highlighted by the All Blacks head coach Ian Foster ahead of the 2023 Rugby World Cup final this weekend.

While expressing his gratitude towards the Kiwi fans, Foster says the support they are getting behind the scenes has been amazing.

He says the tournament has captured New Zealand at home and the team is feeling it and with the messages and videos being sent through to the team, it's been phenomenal.

He adds the team is greatly appreciative of that support and says he thinks they might have converted a few French people to be All Blacks supporters too.

Foster says this weekend’s final against South Africa couldn't be scripted better and from an All Black view, South Africa has always been the great foe.

The All Blacks will take on South Africa at 7am Sunday.

The bronze final between Argentina and England will be at 7am Saturday.
