One of Ian Foster’s final acts as All Blacks coach was to send a please explain to World Rugby following the Rugby World Cup final.<\/p>\n

The All Blacks\u00a0lost the World Cup final<\/a>\u00a0to South Africa in a game that Foster said he and his coaching team would review despite Foster ending his 11-year association with the national team this week.<\/p>\n

The final in Paris had a number of contentious calls over\u00a0red and yellow cards<\/a>\u00a0and other officiating decisions.<\/p>\n

On his arrival back to New Zealand just days after the World Cup campaign ended Foster said “we’ve already sent a file into World Rugby to get them to make a few comments on. Hopefully they do.”<\/p>\n

Foster would not outline what he had asked World Rugby to take a closer look at but said “I think you can guess” which areas of the final were up for debate.<\/p>\n

Foster was in no hurry to decide what would be next for him.<\/p>\n

He said he was “very much so” interested in continuing to coach but would not be drawn on the\u00a0vacant<\/a>\u00a0Wallabies coaching job and said he would be taking a break and “reevaluating” what his next move would be.<\/p>\n

But he would be keeping in contact with some of his former All Blacks charges over the coming months.<\/p>\n

“I invited a few of them to come around and pitch their tent on the lawn and I’ll supply the music and bbq and they can maybe bring a few drinks but I might actually fly around and see a few of them in the next month just to do the proper send-off.”<\/p>\n
