Robertson leaves role two years into four-year contract
Decision to part ways comes after internal NZR review
Scott Robertson has stepped down as New Zealand coach following an internal review of the All Blacks’ performance.
Speculation over Robertson’s future has mounted since December amid reports of friction between senior players and All Blacks staff.
Robertson, who replaced Ian Foster after the 2023 World Cup, guided the All Blacks to 10 wins out of 13 Tests in the 2025 season but the former Canterbury Crusaders coach came under pressure following a first-ever away defeat to Argentina and a record 43-10 loss to South Africa in Wellington.
