Canterbury Crusaders head coach Scott Robertson, seen here in May 2019, says he wants to join next year's British and Irish Lions tour to South Africa after being overlooked for the All Blacks job. WELLINGTON: Canterbury Crusaders coach Scott Robertson revealed on Friday that he wants to join next year's British and Irish Lions tour to South Africa after being overlooked for the All Blacks job.
Despite the snub, Robertson said he still wanted international experience and had approached Lions coach Warren Gatland - currently at Waikato Chiefs - about going on tour next year. "I thought, 'Look, if I can't be involved with the All Blacks, what's the biggest thing - or actually bigger in its own self the Lions tour - to get involved'."The 45-year-old said Gatland had taken his request to Lions management and it was being considered.
The South Africa tour - if it takes place amid the global COVID-19 pandemic - is scheduled for July-August, and the timing of next year's Super Rugby season remains unclear.
