World Cups are really about the present and the best team on the night,\u2019 said Foster.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/10\/19\/17\/76764069-0-image-a-15_1697734112613.jpg\" height=\"423\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>New Zealand are heavy favourites to reach the final when they face Argentina on Friday night<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/10\/19\/21\/76770683-12650491-image-a-81_1697745872116.jpg\" height=\"423\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>Ian Foster&#8217;s All Blacks have reached a fourth successive semi-final in the Rugby World Cup<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/10\/19\/21\/76770693-12650491-image-a-82_1697745950053.jpg\" height=\"435\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>New Zealand saw off the challenge of the favourites to continue Ireland&#8217;s quarter-final curse<\/p>\n<p>\u2018If you go into a World Cup semi-final with any expectation the past is going to happen again, you have got problems. The talk about 2019 we covered off in a small amount of time.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018It is not lingering in our mind. Most of the lessons we got out of 2019 have been taken on board.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>Foster\u2019s side produced a sensational display to beat Ireland \u2013 who were then the world\u2019s No 1 side \u2013 in the quarter-finals with captain Sam Cane, Jordie Barrett and Ardie Savea outstanding performers.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018It\u2019s a final \u2013 definitely a final. The concept of \u201cno tomorrow\u201d from the last game is exactly the same for this one,\u2019 said Foster, who will leave his role after the tournament.<\/p>\n<p>In the build-up to this World Cup, the All Blacks have had regular visits from star former players including Carter, Richie McCaw and Conrad Smith among others.<\/p>\n<p>The idea is for them to cast their eye over Foster\u2019s current set-up and pass on any wisdom as part of a \u2018legacy group\u2019 made up of those who have represented New Zealand with distinction.<\/p>\n<p>Foster revealed ex-fly-half Carter \u2013 a World Cup winner in 2011 and 2015 \u2013 had been in his team\u2019s camp ahead of the Argentina game.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018He (Carter) touched base with a few players,\u2019 Foster said. \u2018The team and I love it as they (ex-players) have got a rich history of loving this jersey and knowing what the jersey stands for.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018We couldn\u2019t get too close to Dan as he had a nice cream jacket on which meant none of us could hug him as we were all dirty. He was pretty protective so we kept our distance!<\/p>\n<p>\u2018But it was great having him in.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>Argentina are a shock semi-final presence. Michael Cheika\u2019s Pumas were awful in their tournament-opening defeat by England but also caused a quarter-final surprise by knocking out Wales.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/10\/19\/21\/76770707-12650491-image-a-83_1697746012863.jpg\" height=\"423\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>Michael Cheika&#8217;s Argentina are a shock presence in the last-four after surprising Wales<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/10\/19\/17\/76764023-0-image-a-14_1697733978845.jpg\" height=\"475\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>All Blacks legend Dan\u00a0Carter has been in his team\u2019s camp ahead of the Argentina game<\/p>\n<p>They are significant underdogs but did beat New Zealand as recently as last year.<\/p>\n<p>Wet weather is forecast for the game which could have an impact although New Zealand\u2019s handling and accuracy under pressure against Ireland was phenomenal.<\/p>\n<p>Argentina captain and Leicester hooker Julian Montoya said: \u2018As soon as you get on the field you believe you can win.
