    Questions continue to swirl over Scott Robertson's departure as All Blacks coach

    Questions continue to swirl over Scott Robertson's departure as All Blacks coach


    He's left halfway through his four-year deal, after player frustration simmered and boiled over in a scathing internal review late last year.

    NZ Rugby Chair David Kirk denies a player revolt forced Robertson out.

    But former Chief Executive David Moffitt says the organisation's a bit of a mess.

    He says you're going to get bigger problems if players get to determine who their boss is.
