MELBOURNE (Reuters) -Former All Blacks coach Ian Foster says unfinished business from the drawn British and Irish Lions series in 2017 will motivate him when he helps guide a team of Australian and New Zealand players against the touring side this year.

Foster on Thursday was confirmed on the coaching staff of the AUNZ Invitational XV who will play the Lions on July 12 at Adelaide Oval in the last tour match before the series-opening test against Australia in Brisbane a week later.
