Scott Robertson dismisses links to Wales job

Crusaders coach Scott Robertson has dismissed reports suggesting that he is in the run to be the new coach for  Wales’ in 2019.

Media reports in the United Kingdom stated that Robertson, who guided the Crusaders to victory in last year’s Super Rugby tournament, is on a shortlist along with fellow New Zealanders Wayne Pivac and Dave Rennie to replace Warren Gatland as Wales’ head coach after next year’s Rugby World Cup in Japan.

But Robertson seemed genuinely surprised when asked if he has been shortlisted for the Wales position.

Robertson’s contract with the Crusaders is up for renewal at the end of the season and he has indicated that he would like to extend his stay with the Christchurch‑based franchise.
