Up in the coaches’ box at Ellis Park, Ian Foster exhaled deeply pusoy

It was August of last year, and the All Blacks head coach’s job had been hanging in the balance, a run of five defeats in six matches putting Foster in the firing line pusoy

The prognosis looked grim, with the grand old home of South African rugby packed to the rafters with 62,000 Springbok fans who would have loved nothing more than for their side to unseat the coach of their great rival pusoy

But Foster’s team saved him, shocking South Africa 35-23 to bring their coach back from the brink pusoy

Only New Zealand and Foster himself will know truly how close he was to losing his job, but there is every possibility that defeat in Johannesburg would have spelled a premature end to Foster’s tenure pusoy

The players knew what it meant pusoy

“We were playing for our coach’s job,” scrum half Aaron Smith admitted afterwards pusoy

Little more than a year later, and Foster is ready to lead New Zealand into a final; there is every chance that on Saturday night, he’ll be a World Cup winner pusoy

Such a tag would normally ensure a status as something of a national hero – Foster’s predecessors Graham Henry and Steve Hansen both have knighthoods pusoy

Yet there is still a sense among All Blacks supporters of a lack of fondness for their head coach; the New Zealand rugby public are already in love with another man pusoy

Scott Robertson will take over Foster’s brief after this tournament, having been braced to step into the breach had things deteriorated further and left Foster’s position untenable last year pusoy

The clamour for a coach good enough to lead the Canterbury club to seven consecutive Super Rugby titles is understandable, and there is a thought that Robertson’s popularity with players and fans could re-energise the sport pusoy

Foster was reportedly so scared about the next head coach’s force of personality disrupting this All Blacks’ campaign that he banned him from attending New Zealand’s World Cup fixtures pusoy

But Foster has quietly got on with his work to turn the All Blacks around pusoy

He’s far from the first number two to struggle in a lead coaching role – England fans will recall the trouble Andy Robinson had stepping up after Clive Woodward’s departure pusoy

Nor, really, has he done a bad job: New Zealand have won every Rugby Championship since Foster took charge pusoy

Slowly since the lows of last year, a smile has returned to his face and, while his fate at the end of the tournament is sealed, Foster is happy to enjoy the ride while it lasts pusoy

“It’s not like it’s a focus for us to go out there and have fun, but to make sure we execute our game to the level we need to pusoy

“The team takes a lot of pride when they do that pusoy

The work the players and leaders are doing is a real credit to them pusoy

As you go through tournaments, you have to enjoy it pusoy

There is a lot of pressure, so if you don’t celebrate moments, it is a long old time pusoy

“I am proud to be part of this group, the coaches are linking well with the players and there is a nice synergy about it pusoy

But you know, one more week pusoy

“There’s not a personal agenda here, this is about the All Blacks and the team pusoy

Things have happened to individuals and to me, but the team comes first pusoy

Right now, we’re making a lot of those decisions together as a group and it is working well pusoy

No doubt, the additions of Joe Schmidt and Jason Ryan last year have been key to this campaign pusoy

Schmidt has reignited New Zealand’s structured attack, tessellating together bits and pieces from his days in charge of Ireland, while Ryan, in combination with scrum coach Greg Feek, has transformed their set-piece pusoy

But not all of the progress can be ascribed their way pusoy

Whether Foster recognised where improvements needed to be made or had Schmidt and Ryan thrust upon him is a matter of debate, but the ability to utilise their expertise perhaps shows a cannier coach than some might initially see pusoy

"One of the great things about 'Foz' is just how much he loves the All Blacks,” said forwards coach Ryan pusoy

“It's all about the team, every decision he makes pusoy

Clearly, he has been through a lot but the All Blacks have been through a lot pusoy

It is never about one person in the All Blacks, and that’s what has been impressive to me pusoy

”Head coach Ian Foster looks on during a New Zealand All Blacks training session (Getty Images)Foster has taken bold calls, too pusoy

The transformation of Jordie Barrett from bit-part utility man to first-choice inside centre has proved the key cog in getting the backline ticking, while the backing of captain Sam Cane has been rewarded by two outstanding performances in the last two weeks pusoy

The All Blacks have had to deal with injuries, a red card and a breach of team protocols during this tournament but have kept powering on pusoy

Their belief in and backing of their gameplan is just as strong as the Springboks’, yet Foster seems to get little of the same praise that Rassie Erasmus and Jacques Nienaber garner pusoy

Perhaps it is that there is still an expectation of success around the All Blacks, a feeling that not winning the World Cup would be evidence enough of Foster’s inadequacy pusoy

But the squad have made clear this week that they have a good man and a good coach at the helm pusoy

If come Saturday night he is clutching a Webb Ellis Cup, this uncared-for coach might finally get some overdue credit pusoy

Pep Guardiola claimed there is no pressure on Erling Haaland to score more goals after the Norwegian’s double sank Young Boys on Wednesday pusoy

Haaland struck twice in the second half as the holders claimed a hard-fought 3-1 win over the Swiss side in their Champions League Group G encounter on the artificial surface at Bern’s Wankdorf Stadium pusoy

The game had been in the balance after Meschack Elia had cancelled out Switzerland international Manuel Akanji’s opener with a superb strike pusoy

Haaland’s goals were his first in six Champions League games while his effort against Brighton on Saturday ended a three-game scoreless run – relative barren spells for a player who plundered 52 in total last season pusoy

Guardiola said: “There is the impression after last season that he has to score seven goals every single game pusoy

That is impossible pusoy

“But he is scoring a lot of goals and if people want him to fail because he doesn’t score 50 goals it doesn’t matter pusoy

He is always there pusoy

“The second goal was really good and he had other chances pusoy

The important thing is to create them pusoy

“Maybe in the right moment of the season he will be there, pusoy better than now, but he has already scored a lot of goals and we are really pleased pusoy

“I’ve told him many times I don’t judge him for scoring goals, although I know he wants to score goals pusoy

He has the desire to improve and I don’t have doubts about that pusoy

”City’s victory, sealed with a Haaland penalty and a clever late finish, was their third in succession and took them a step closer to the knockout stages pusoy

They could reach the last-16 for an 11th consecutive season with a follow-up win over the same opposition at the Etihad Stadium in a fortnight pusoy

“The result was good and in general it was a really good performance,” said Guardiola, whose side had 26 attempts on goal pusoy

“We could have scored more goals but is the important thing is to create the chances pusoy

”Guardiola added that Phil Foden did not play because of a “small problem” while Julian Alvarez, who had a goal disallowed after coming off the bench, was not able to play the full game pusoy

Young Boys coach Raphael Wicky felt his side gave a good account of themselves pusoy

He said: “That courage and passion, we can be proud of what the team delivered, but you need a perfect game against a team like this pusoy

We couldn’t do it pusoy

“Perfect means taking your chances and not conceding from set-pieces pusoy

We’re disappointed with the result, but we can be proud of the team’s performance pusoy
