Ian Foster on Eden Park: 'It's always been a special ground for New Zealand rugby as a whole.' Photo GettyThe All Blacks are trying to dismiss their phenomenal record at Eden Park, which looms large over the three-test series against the British and Irish Lions. The All Blacks have lost just twice in their last 57 tests at a ground where the Lions must play twice, returning there for the third test on July 8. All Blacks assistant coach Ian Foster doubts the Lions will be overawed by the Eden Park record, believing it is little more than a statistical sidenote. "It's about playing well on a Saturday and that's what we've got to do if we're going to add to the legacy of Eden Park."
