I'm not sure if this has been discussed elsewhere. The main points:

Martin Devlin did not ask any questions about Foster's future as All Blacks coach.
Foster says we need to attack more through our set piece.
Did not really answer why players could not change tactics last week. He felt we did learn in the second half.
We weren't able to change how we dealt with the pressure. 3 dumb penalties killed us.
Team has worked hard on improving physicality. Good results with speed of the ball. Feels the desire to get more combative as transferred into niggle.
Thinks that players are getting away with too much provocation.
Is pragmatic that we may need to kick more penalty goals to win games. Felt Australia turned down too many shots at goal last night.
Wants to give opportunities to players. Doesn't really give anything away as to what team he will pick for Saturday.
Media and fans can pull team back into something they have mentally moved on from as a playing group.
Supports Cane 100% and does not believe he needs to talk to him about his public comments. His captain can say what he wants but didn't really agree with the comments. States Cane didn't really believe what he said either.
