WELLINGTON : Scott Robertson, widely tipped to succeed Ian Foster as All Blacks coach after this year's World Cup, is expecting an announcement about his future in the New Zealand coaching structure over the next few days.
Foster's job was saved when New Zealand beat South Africa at Ellis Park in August but Robertson is expecting some public announcement of succession planning from New Zealand Rugby before the start of the Super Rugby season. "You have conversations in the background, but as an employee and understanding how important you go through clear processes. Hopefully we know in the next few days."
"I've had options, but I've always said, my preference is to be here in New Zealand and coach my country," he added.
