'I'm delighted to be here' - the words of All Blacks coach Ian Foster after his bosses backed him to stay in the job through to the next World Cup.

But the All Blacks silenced the doubters with a massive win against the Springboks at Ellis Park on the weekend - and today the board unanimously decided to keep him.
