This is one of the biggest days in New Zealand rugby history. Scott Robertson is no longer the All Blacks head coach, and for the first time ever, NZ Rugby has made the call to remove a coach mid-cycle.

We go live as the news breaks, unpacking the statements from David Kirk and Scott Robertson, the review process, and why this decision was made now. There’s empathy first, because Razor is a good man who’s just lost his dream job in the harshest way possible. But there’s also honesty about performance, player power, and why this situation became untenable.

Martin Devlin, producer Lachlan Waugh, and broadcaster Mark Watson dig into what went wrong, what it says about NZ Rugby’s new leadership, and where the All Blacks go next. From Jamie Joseph and Tony Brown to Wayne Smith, Joe Schmidt, and beyond, this is the full, unfiltered DSPN reaction to a seismic moment in the game.
