New Zealand head coach Ian Foster has reshuffled his backroom staff in the wake of the All Blacks' first series defeat to Ireland.

Forwards coach John Plumtree and backs coach Brad Mooar have left their roles following Ireland's historic 2-1 series win in the southern hemisphere earlier this month.
