An internal New Zealand Rugby review has reportedly uncovered deepening dissatisfaction among All Blacks players, with head coach Scott Robertson and assistant Scott Hansen identified as central to the unrest following another average season.
According to legacy media, senior players have delivered the strongest criticism, with frustrations said to have built steadily during Robertson’s tenure, raising fresh pressure on both the coaching group and the governing body.
Star loose forward Ardie Savea is reportedly among the most unhappy, with his future in New Zealand in question if changes are not made, despite being contracted through to 2027.
Savea is said to be weighing longer-term overseas options, including remaining in Japan or a potential move to Europe, as NZR considers how to quell the growing discontent.
While replacing Robertson less than two years out from the 2027 Rugby World Cup would be a major upheaval, changes within the coaching staff are increasingly viewed as a response to address the scale of player frustration.
