Crusaders coach, Scott Robertson’s dream of coaching the All Blacks remains at the end of a rainbow.

While NZ Rugby was explaining its decision to extend All Blacks coach Ian Foster’s contract through to the 2023 World Cup in France, Robertson’s supporters had to, again, take a deep breath and accept defeat.

Robertson missed out to Foster when the pair interviewed for the top job in late 2019, following Sir Steve Hansen’s departure after the World Cup in Japan.

Crusaders CEO Colin Mansbridge says NZ Rugby had waited to see if the All Blacks’ could beat the world champion Springboks in Townsville and on the Gold Coast, it may have taken some heat out of the “Fozzie versus Razor’’ debate.
