Erasmus backs Robertson to thrive after All Blacks exit

The respect remains between Springboks coach Rassie Erasmus and his former All Blacks counterpart, Scott Robertson.

Erasmus has reacted for the first time to Robertson’s departure and the pending appointment of his replacement before New Zealand’s tour to the republic in August and September.

The four-time World Cup winners had
a 3-1 record against Robertson’s All Blacks since the former Crusaders coach took the reins at the start of the 2024 season, including inflicting the biggest ever defeat on New Zealand – a 43-10 thumping in Wellington.

Robertson departed the role on January 16 and it was announced last week he will coach the Barbarians against Erasmus’ Springboks in his first job since leaving New Zealand.

Local rivalries are key for Wallabies as Super Rugby starts the new season full of hope | Angus Fontaine

Australia’s club sides can drive each other to greater heights in a year that will prove crucial ahead of the 2027 Rugby World Cup

The 2026 Super Rugby Pacific season kicks off this weekend and Australia needs its four provinces to make a stirring statement ahead of the 2027 home World Cup. No local side has won the men’s competition, or even made the final, since Michael Cheika’s NSW Waratahs upset now 13-time champions the Crusaders in 2014. If the Wallabies want to conquer the world, it has got to start with beating the neighbours.

The year after his Super triumph, Cheika took the Wallabies to the Rugby World Cup final (losing to New Zealand 34-17) and Rugby Australia will be praying for a repeat act in 2026. Ideally it’s the Cinderella story of Les Kiss leading the Queensland Reds to glory before he takes the reins from Joe Schmidt as Wallabies coach this July, a feat that would supercharge the Kiss era and ignite home fans before next October’s tournament.

The 2026 Super Rugby Pacific season is finally here as the teams hunt for this year's title.

Once again, it's the Crusaders that will enter the season as the hunted after they defeated the Chiefs in last year's decider.
