ABs coach Robertson disappointed and hurt after loss to Argentina

ABs coach Robertson disappointed and hurt after loss to Argentina

All Blacks coach Scott Robertson has expressed his disappointment after last night’s 38-30 loss to Argentina on their home soil for the second time.

Robertson says he is disappointed and hurt, but the players will look to him and he has got to make sure he puts everything in place for them so that they respond next weekend.

He says they had a week to get everything right but they did not do it as well as they should have.

Robertson says they need to execute and finish off the job and they need to be better in a lot of areas like kick plans and exits as it all starts there.

He says there are several little things but they have got to find what is critical now so they can move on.

He further says that he will need to look at himself first, see what he could have done personally as the head coach, how could he frame this week a bit better, how could he create more edge and how can the team get better on and off the field.

Robertson says he really needs to reflect on it over the next 24 hours.

The All Blacks will take on Argentina at 7.05pm next Saturday at Eden Park in round 2 of the Rugby Championship and the Wallabies will host the Springboks at 9.45pm next Saturday in Perth.
