Crusaders coach Scott Robertson has put the rugby world on red alert by saying he is open to offers to coach one of New Zealand's rivals at the 2027 World Cup.
Despite winning a raft of Super Rugby titles, Robertson was overlooked for the All Blacks job in 2019 with Ian Foster ultimately getting the nod. And, with New Zealand Rugby seemingly set to stick with Foster despite their current struggles, it would appear that Robertson has had enough of waiting for the big job to become available.
Speaking on a podcast with former Scotland international Jim Hamilton, Robertson outlined his desire to win a World Cup with two different countries. That declaration alone will likely catch the attention of many governing bodies in the sport, with England and Wales just two nations who will see their current coaches' contracts expire after next year's World Cup in France.
