Coming off a dominant win over the Springboks, Foster believes he has the support of most, but maybe not all.
The All Blacks are now just two-hundredths of a point behind world champions South Africa who are in third place behind European heavyweights Ireland and France.
Australia’s record 48-17 loss to Argentina has seen them drop one place.
Now at No 7, it equals their lowest-ever position, last held between September and November 2018 following another Rugby Championship loss to Argentina.
The result in San Juan saw the Wallabies lose 1.65 rating points and their new total of 81.65 drops them below Scotland, who climb to sixth.
Argentina, who scored seven tries, gained as many points as Australia lost under the complicated points exchange system adopted by the rankings but their new total of 80.97 points is still not enough for them to improve on ninth place.
Los Pumas are now on 80.97 points, leaving them just 0.31 of a point behind Wales in eighth.
The Rugby Championship resumes on Saturday week with the table tightened as the opening round of results were reversed.
Each of the four teams has won one game apiece with Argentina in first place on five points but only ahead of Australia on points difference.
The All Blacks are still bottom of the Rugby Championship table, on four points.
Argentina travel to New Zealand for two tests while Australia host the Springboks for two tests in matches that will be hugely influential on the rankings a year out from the World Cup.
