Accidentally released video shows AB coach kneeing player and vandalising ball tower
All Blacks head coach Ian Foster has been wreaking havoc on training this week, channelling his inner Godzilla.
Foster has been caught smashing a ball tower and harassing Sevu Reece, kneeing him and charging after him with a ball as the winger appears to flee for safety.
Perhaps these are just nerves ahead of the All Blacks’ final match of the Rugby Championship this Saturday, against the Springboks, where they can potentially secure a grand slam. Or perhaps it was the relief of overcoming the Boks last Saturday in dramatic fashion with Jordie Barrett’s late long-range penalty. Either way, he looked uncontrollable in training this week.
