New Zealand have sacked head coach Scott Robertson after a review of their 2025 campaign.
The All Blacks were beaten by South Africa, Argentina and England last year, with New Zealand Rugby opting to make a change ahead of the 2027 Rugby World Cup.
New Zealand Rugby chair David Kirk said: “The mid-point in the Rugby World Cup cycle is the right time to look at the All Blacks’ progress over the first two seasons. The team are set to play a significant 2026 schedule and the tournament in 2027 remains the key goal.
“We’ve taken an extensive look at the team’s progress on and off the field and have subsequently had discussions with Scott on the way forward. Both NZR and Scott agree it is in the best interests of the team that he depart his role as head coach.”
