Scott Robertson: All Blacks Coach on his squad announcement and the new era of the All Blacks

Published: June 24, 2024, 8:57 p.m.

The Scott Robertson All Blacks Era has officially begun.\xa0

Yesterday saw him announce his first squad, with Scott Barrett taking the captaincy and Ardie Savea and Jodie Barrett filling the role of deputies.\xa0

Robertson told Mike Hosking that it was good to get on with it as they\u2019ve been tracking the players for a long time, so it felt to goof to finalise the squad and put it out there.\xa0

He\u2019s not yet sure how different his era of the All Blacks is going to be, but a big part of what he\u2019d like to do is bring a bit more insight and connection to who they are and how they do things to the public.\xa0

\u201cA big part of what I have to do is bring the past and legacy with us, so that\u2019s what you\u2019ll see off the field, but on the field a team that can adapt, play different ways, play the team in front of us to be connected and find ways to win.\u201d\xa0

\u201cYou know, good Kiwi DNA, find ways to be connected and find ways to win.\u201d\xa0
