New Zealand Rugby has named Scott Robertson as Ian Foster’s successor, with the 48-year-old to take charge of the All Blacks after the Rugby World Cup later this year. The Crusaders coach has signed a four-year contract which will run from the start of 2024 and take him through to the end of the 2027 World Cup.
“It’s an honour to be named as the next All Blacks head coach,” Robertson said in a statement. “It’s a job that comes with a huge amount of responsibility, but I’m excited by the opportunity to make a contribution to the legacy of the black jersey. To represent your country, as a coach or player, is the ultimate honour in sport and it’s humbling to be given that opportunity. I can’t wait.”
