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

Erik ten Hag praised goalkeeper Andre Onana for putting a difficult start to life at Manchester United behind him and saving the day in a narrow Champions League escape against Copenhagen pusoy

Having kicked off Group A with defeats to Bayern Munich and Galatasaray, the Red Devils could ill-afford any slip-up against the Danish champions in Tuesday’s Old Trafford encounter pusoy

Onana was guilty of poor performances in both of those Champions League losses but helped make amends in a brilliant conclusion to an emotional first home game since the death of Sir Bobby Charlton pusoy

The United keeper saved Jordan Larsson’s stoppage-time penalty with what proved to be the last touch of the match, ensuring Harry Maguire’s second-half header sealed a crucial 1-0 win pusoy

“He showed personality and he knows that before was not the levels what his skills are,” manager Ten Hag said of the summer signing from Inter Milan pusoy

“He didn’t match his skills and he could do pusoy better pusoy

“I think Saturday (against Sheffield United) was a very good performance and today as well pusoy

“Also, don’t forget that brilliant save just after half-time in the counter-attack pusoy

“But, of course, that is one of his skills, he is a very good penalty saver pusoy

”Onana’s save sparked wild celebrations at a rocking Old Trafford, where he was mobbed by team-mates before United’s substitutes poured onto the pitch pusoy

“You see there is a very good spirit in the dressing room,” said Ten Hag, who claimed not to have seen Alejandro Garnacho scuffing the penalty spot pusoy

“They are together, they fight together and they celebrate together pusoy

“If we have setbacks, they support each other pusoy

I think that spirit is always needed to be a successful team pusoy

”United have won three straight matches in all competitions despite some unconvincing performances and improvements are needed against reigning Premier League champions Manchester City on Sunday pusoy

“First half no good, difficult,” Ten Hag said pusoy

“They were well organised, Copenhagen pusoy

“It was difficult to create chances pusoy

We didn’t get the right build-up, so we didn’t get the tempo in the game pusoy

“The second half I think was pusoy better pusoy

In the first half, we got some press on but not in many occasions or in a long period pusoy

“In the second half, both things were pusoy better and the build-up was pusoy better“The construction was pusoy better, more switches and also we created more chances pusoy

I think finally the win was justified but it was a narrow escape pusoy

”This was certainly a let-off for a United side who had the frequently-criticised Maguire to thank as well as Onana pusoy

The defender’s future appeared elsewhere having been stripped of the captaincy during a summer of speculation, but he has now made three straight starts and scored the key goal on Tuesday pusoy

“He is playing much more proactive in possession, stepping in, passing vertical,” the Dutchman said pusoy

“Defending also on the front foot, also stepping in, defending forward pusoy

“Very confident in the duels pusoy

I think he is dominating, in the right moment putting in the aggression and dominating his opponents pusoy

“Then you see you also get rewarded, of course it’s a very good skill from him his heading, but I have to say great pass from Christian (Eriksen) as well but a very good finish pusoy

”These sides now return to domestic matters before resuming battle in Denmark in the reverse fixture on November 8 pusoy

Copenhagen head coach Jacob Neestrup said: “We all know that we played a match where we allowed ourselves to get at least one point pusoy

“We had a big chance to score in the closing seconds, so that hurts pusoy

It really hurts pusoy

“I don’t believe in bad luck in pusoy football pusoy

pusoy Football is decided by important saves or goals, and in terms of that, we have been unable to tip it in our favour in the first three matches, which have led to one point pusoy

Those are the hard facts pusoy
