After starting with much fanfare, Scott Robertson's tenure as All Blacks coach has come to an end after just two years. He's parted ways with New Zealand Rugby after just two years in the job, which began in 2024 against England in Dunedin. It comes following what is understood to be scathing feedback in the end of season review towards Robertson and his coaching staff. NZ Herald’s Liam Napier was the one to break the news of the internal review, and he told Piney he understands the dissatisfaction was widespread among the team, not confined to one or two players. “Some of the most stinging feedback came from a number of senior players, y’know, guys that have played 100 tests, have been around a long time, experienced the highs and lows of test football,” he explained. “You can have bad years in test rugby, and you can have bad weeks, but I think this had steadily built the frustration over the two-year tenure.” LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
