All Blacks coach Ian Foster will remain in charge for the Kiwi's two test series against South Africa, despite suffering a home series loss to Ireland this summer.
Foster's head was on the block after last week's famous 32-22 defeat to Andy Farrell 's men, which resulted in the All Blacks losing a home series for the first time in the professional era.
Former Ireland coach Joe Schmidt will remain on board as an independent selector. Schmidt, who joined up with Foster's backroom team for the series with Ireland, was one of the names being mentioned to replace Foster should the 57-year old lose his job.
