If Hansen and Ryan are allowed to stay, would they want to? Seemed pretty loyal to Robertson...
The word you seek is untenable

Just had this passed on. Unsure if it’s anywhere else yet. It’s the press release going out soon.
Scott Robertson has departed his role as Head Coach of the All Blacks following the completion of the 2025 end of season review.
A process will commence immediately to recruit a new Head Coach.
New Zealand Rugby (NZR) 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.”
Kirk acknowledged Robertson’s contribution to the All Blacks across a long period of time.
“On behalf of New Zealand Rugby I would like to thank Scott for his contribution to the All Blacks. As always, he has continued to put the All Blacks first and we respect that he has done the hard but right thing in agreeing to depart.
“His passion for the team as both a player and coach is evident and his commitment to and involvement in rugby in New Zealand at every level over a long period is significant. We wish him well for the future.”
NZR will now commence the All Blacks’ Head Coach recruitment process immediately and will provide an update in the coming days.
The All Blacks are scheduled to play next in three July Nations Championship matches in New Zealand.

1 "Both NZR and Scott agree it is in the best interests of the team that he depart his role as Head Coach.”
2 “His passion for the team as both a player and coach is evident and his commitment to and involvement in rugby in New Zealand at every level over a long period is significant. We wish him well for the future.”So 1 isn't true, they sacked him.

And we don't know (for certain) his replacement. The Fern will be buzzing with more rumours and suggestions.
I'm just waiting for some responses from overseas Blues players...

so they dealing with Razor 1st, will deal with the rest of his coaching team later?

I assume they will clear the decks. Only Ryan stands a chance. He worked with Fozzie, so maybe he can just get on with his job

I feel like we need a TLDR - time line - review.
From the beginning of the rumors and talk about the players reviewYou said it was a quiet day at work, go for it
Mate I can’t finish a Fernies I started 3 years ago what makes you think I can compile 1,500 comments here into something that makes sense
Fuck I'll second that, I'm still waiting on my awards.
Back on topic and having read through hundreds of posts on here I really can't believe its come to this, wasn't he supposed to be coaching Jesus after the "horror" of the Fozzie years ?
Gosh life is funny how it works out sometimes.

You get some shit on here for not always being on the money (including myself) but you were the first to get the smoke. Well played.
