Incoming New Zealand head coach Scott Robertson has confirmed the remainder of his All Blacks coaching staff that will take charge of the side from 2024.
Robertson’s coaching staff was confirmed on Wednesday morning, ending weeks of speculation over who will be assisting the Crusaders boss when he takes over from Ian Foster after the World Cup in September and October.

Current All Blacks forwards coach Jason Ryan is the only member of Foster’s coaching staff who will be remaining in his position in the new era.
Blues head coach Leon MacDonald and Hurricanes coach Jason Holland will join the All Blacks, along with Robertson’s Crusaders assistant coach Scott Hansen.
MacDonald has been placed in charge of the All Blacks attack, with assistance from Holland, while Hansen will take charge of the defensive structures.
“I’ve known Jason [Ryan], Leon, Scott, Alfie [Holland] and Gilly for a long time and worked with them all at times during my playing and coaching career,’’ Robertson said.
“They are a highly talented and motivated group who will bring different strengths to the table and who share a similar philosophy on the game.
“Like myself with the Crusaders, I know they all have important work to do in 2023 and their main focus will be on their current job in hand, but we will be ready to go from 2024.”
