Why Scott Robertson could coach England

Scott Robertson is considering a move to England. He would like to win two Rugby World Cups with two different countries. New Zealand Rugby will not commit to a similar timeline for the All Blacks job. It wouldn't make sense to wait for a NZ Rugby process to play out after the Rugby Cup.

After England's defeat to Argentina two weeks ago, a prominent UK bookmaker produced a market for the next England coach. Scott Robertson was second favourite behind Steve Borthwick. Joe Schmidt, Jamie Joseph and Tony Brown are strong external candidates. Ian Foster would walk away if the campaign in France is successful. Dave Rennie is off contract at the end of 2023. New Zealand Rugby has the impossible task of running a process that suits everyone. NZ Rugby received criticism in 2019 for an appointment process. It's more sympathetic to that sort of timeline in 20 23.
