Embattled head coach Ian Foster is expected to be retained for the All Blacks' upcoming tour of South Africa.
Foster and his coaching team have been under intense public pressure since the All Blacks lost to Ireland in Wellington last Saturday.
That fourth loss from the past five tests consigned the All Blacks to their first home series defeat in 27 years, sparking widespread calls for a coaching cleanout that would cost New Zealand Rugby well excess of $2 million in pay-outs.
While suggestions New Zealand Rugby would hold a pivotal board meeting on Wednesday were wide of the mark, sources have indicated that Foster is expected to be retained for the two-test tour of South Africa that starts on August 7.
