Crusaders coach Scott Robertson has revealed he has spoken to former Wallabies coach Robbie Deans about the process of applying to become the next All Blacks coach.

Robertson has been upfront about his application to become Steve Hansen's successor but at today's Super Rugby launch shed a few more details about his experience.

The three-time Super Rugby champion coach said his meeting with New Zealand Rugby about the job will be early next month and while he won't reveal the names he's assembling to pitch as his coaching staff, he did confirm he's turned to others about the process.

Robertson says he has  talked to a few people without naming a few names, a lot of ex coaches who have influenced in the past around their philosophy and how they have coached.
