New Zealand Rugby director Greg Barclay confirms the swift sacking of All Blacks head coach Scott Robertson. Barclay, part of the decision-making board, emphasizes that the move follows a thorough review of the team’s performance during the 2025 campaign. While specifics of the review remain undisclosed, Barclay expresses confidence in the process and its outcomes. He states, “I thought it was an excellent process… we got the report, and our role was to approve the recommendation.” The board reached unanimous agreement without extensive debate, reflecting a well-researched conclusion. Dave Rennie steps in as the new head coach, a change Barclay views as necessary but not surprising. He insists the decision aligns with the best interests of the All Blacks moving forward. Barclay supports the panel's findings and highlights the quality of their work, marking a significant shift for New Zealand rugby.
