The right coach for the AB's at this time. His track record isn't just impressive as a player and a coach, it's full of his big heart for the game. Go Razor! You got this!
Scotsman who has started his amateur coaching journey in Ulster province in Ireland. I was a terrible player and just study, study, study rugby union to learn. Crusaders and Robertson are an inspiration for playing attacking rugby
Most people don’t know how hard it is to build and maintain a successful organization over the long term. Razor does. He will bring the All Blacks back to number one in the world.
What a treasure for New Zealand, what passion, a true players coach………….. As a Springbok fan I’m happy for you guys but God help us! It’s going to be epic !!
What an absolutely beautiful interview with Scott "Razor " Robertson. His authenticity , he is what he is , is a huge part of his success. A big part of wonderful Crusaders teams as a player and then 7 in a row as coach. He is amazing. It has been a pleasure to have known him during this wonderful time. People outside of here often criticize "us" , the team , Razor etc... There has been one heck of a lot of adversity in getting these titles. This year, massive injury toll. But they made it, beating a much fancied opponent, the Chiefs on THERE patch !!
@@bernardmontgomery9820Totally agree they could have used a music score that represents battle, hard struggle with victory and the jubilation that comes with it. The music they used didn't suit the video.
Fuck sake these pricks that have been whinging the whole time still whinging when will people realise fans don't choose the coach it's not even our business just support the team no matter what
Scott, you have been given the privilege of guiding the next generation of All Blacks. Your history is of an overachiever. A Crusader, an All Black, a winning coach of the worlds best club team. However, no man is an island. I hope you get the best of the best as support. I know NZ have the players to achieve another golden era. It is up to you to be the conductor and orchestrate this disparate group into the worlds number one sporting team. At times of personal despair remember millions, not just New Zealanders, are supporting you personally and the team collectively.
Winner born. He learnt much with Robbie Deans and Wayne Smith the mentors . He will bring the glory to all blacks and his mentor Wayne Smith will be the performance coach to challenge him with his assistants.
The world should be put on notice Razor is the guy that will bring back the All Blacks untouchable mystique and the world will tremble once more when facing the juggernaught that is the All Blacks
I love his passion. So many coaches these days wear a poker face during the games. They’ll pump their fist and pat their colleagues on the shoulder when they score, but to see Robinson’s raw emotion is so refreshing. I’m Irish, and I hope to God that we’ll get our hands on the next World Cup, but for the man he is I can’t wait to see all the pages he’s going to add to the storied history of the All Blacks.
As a Wellingtonian and Hurricane supporter it’s frustrating that the Crusaders are this good but I’m proud they’re fellow kiwis making history no other team will ever win 7 championships in a row
I really think he is going to be an amazing coach for the BA's. That is taken nothing away from what Ian has achieved, this year, the All Blacks have cemented themselves back at the top of world rugby, which should make as all incredibly proud. I just feel Scott is going to bring a new energy and add to the proud Dynasty of the All Blacks, in a new, passionate way, that we haven’t seen before.
It’s double jeopardy isn’t it, we don’t want to lose you as a Crusader coach but we need you as an AB coach, it’s bitter sweet for me as I am a Crusader by birthright but the ABs are my epitome of greatness on the rugby paddock. Razor, you were a humble, yet great coach and now you deserve a crack at the national level, you are a humble chap but you are more and I think you and your coaching team will bring a new class of rugby to the world. Thank you Sir, from the bottom of our hearts, I will cry for our loss but delight in our gain. Razor, grab your board and hit the surf son and always hold your head up high, I’m so proud of you bro
However the building block foundation that he, not only has witnessed being laid, but also adding the reinforcement to this mighty edifice, will attract winning combinations of admin and coaching staff, players and families as the very mass of gravity attracts like.
As a crusaders supporter from the start I owe this man so much. You cannot surpass the euphoria when you team lifts that trophy. Thank you for so many great memories for me and my boy/
@@taraishot100 What a load of bullshit, Crusaders area is half the South Island. You just insulted half of our supporters. And lived and worked all my life in Christchurch by the way
As OUR National Coach, the All Blacks won't be playing for no Super Rugby Trophy he is expected to step up to coach OUR team to success on the International stage, as many have done before him. I have no doubt he will do well, but don't be too quick to ride the bandwagon, 1st he must prove his worth as All Black Coach. 2027 RWC should be his goal, he has already stated he want to do it with 2 teams (Media) I'm not sure what he means by that unless he feels his stay as All Blacks Coach will be long term. Anyway Good luck to him.
We'll miss you here in Canterbury, but I am so excited about what you can achieve with the resources of the All Blacks behind you. Thank you for your passion, commitment, entertainment and the years of joy you've bought rugby fans in Canterbury and around the world😊
What a hugely likeable character Razor is and I’m stoked that he finished his tenure with a victory, even with the massive depletion of first choice players through injury and his coaching team getting poached by the NZRU to support Senor Foster. I supported the Saders in their first year, while working away in the UK. Wore the good bastich mocking from all the rest of the lads that first year, for throwing my lot in with the apparent “runt” of NZ rugby and have been a pretty chuffed bastich ever since and hope Razor comes back again. He’s a lifetime member of The Last of the Good Bastiches Club.
I live in wellington but I support the crusaders , the culture , the way you handle pressure, the way you take players rejected by other clubs then turn them into All Blacks… Scott, join the watchtower, your a legend.
Thanks for this interview Razor. Remember waking up on early mornings to watch Super 12 rugby in a boys school hostel in South Africa. Crusaders built themselves from the bottom up and became so dominant (insert: a deserved shout out to the Brumbies) and mantained that for the better part of two decades. Memories.
He reminds me so much of my coach at varsity he ws so humble and he always put himself on the block for us as players when it came for us to step up to provincial duties for rugby cause he always brought out the best in us as players...it was a secret bond where we would give our lives for him every Saturday and our loyalty was just for him
Just beautiful, gee that organisation has produced so many good men and women. So proud to have had the connection to Christchurch that I have had. Razor just embodies the culture that is the fabric of that place.
It's incredible to see how far he's come. I remember him coaching me as a young boy for U14/U15 Canterbury team. An incredible leader passionate about rugby like no other Cheers Razor
I now live in India. In 1998, first semester, Lincoln University, I was resident as something called a 'student' making a right mockery of my existence at the time. Once could say I was a student writing a thesis on growlers and beef curtains washed down with disgusting ales and the like. One lunch time in the student area as I was heaving down on my second favourite activity at 'uni' and that is known as lunch, which was a half of a freshly baked bread filled with all sorts from the farms of Canterbury....along comes Razor and sits down at our table! Of course my mate and I knew him, me more then most as I was a huge Crusaders fan...I got chatting with him and this was his first season in Super rugby. Razor openly talked tactics with fans like me, and I recall very clearly, every sentence was filled with this name called 'Smithy'. Smithy is the man he told me. Of course, Wayne Smith is my all time favourite AB's coach as well BUT it is unreal seeing Robertson has come such a long way breaking records as the coach of the Crusaders and now. The only coach worthy of coaching the AB's after a four year farce.
From a player to been the coach been successful in both positions its something that not many player to coach for the same team its a remarkable achievement to do & have.
Regardless of the team I support, truly class person Razor! Deserved everything you and the boys worked for over your tenure. Can’t wait to see what you bring to the ABs. Greatness as always; I’d have to say.
Razor's glory goes before him through Jason Ryan whom has had a huge and obvious effect on the All Black performances is proof in the pudding that he will be undeniably successful with restoring and rewriting All Black legacy, history and glory. I knew straight away from when he helped the under 20s to the world championship title in 2015, that one day he will change the New Zealand Rugby landscape. Rugby Union will become more popular again throughout the schools and all the levels because of this one man. To be the first super rugby team to win an away final outside nz especially at the highest altitude Ellis Park against a fiery lions side very much told the story of what was to come in the following years. Then he does what would cause many to faint, he takes the Crusaders to Heaven as in 7/11 . Yes 7 titles as coach and 4 as a player which is 11 all up. The announcement of him before the world cup commencement is what has brought about some peace of mind. In fact it's actually part of the reason why the All Blacks have gotten off to a better start, because subliminally the Razor effect and his ascent to the highest job in the country is having an impact on the All Black's even before the start of his tenure.
What a legend within a legend team Ty for being so honest and sharing your story with the crusaders and giving us outsiders some insight as to how and why the crusaders have been the best team in the world ❤
When Razor won the NPC, I had my doubts about him, as a coach, then he won Super Rugby, and I still wondered, but he won again, and again,and again,and again,and again,and again,AND AGAIN....wow. Humbling how he reinvents himself every year, and he richly deserves to be the first AB coach to be selected before the world cup. I still back Fozzie as the incumbent, he deserves our support, and I hope he wins the cup...for the crap he has had to put up with as much as anything, but he is massively under-rated. Anyway Razors regime next year, going to be exciting!
Crusaders has and is a culture. I doubt that they will struggle next year. Despite losing razor, rm, sw and few others they still have the bulk of the newbies that carried them to success this year plus the influential next ab's captain sb. Guys that are currently in the injury list will be back and penny will continue the legacy. Like I said it's a culture, go the crusaders........eh!
My only criticism of the bloke was the way he and Rugby NZ handled the appointment of his coaching of the All Blacks, very smug and very arrogant and incredibly disrespectful to Fozzy. Fortunately Fozzy is humble and is proving humility wins when it comes to coaching the All Blacks. NZ Rugby you can do better next time with how you appoint the new coach, as the way yourselves and Scott handled yourselfs was appauling and a shambles.
Rubbish.They had to sign up before the RWC,to ensure they secure his services. Otherwise,he would have more than likely been poached by another country - probably one of the home unions.They are experts when it comes to poaching our talent.
@@richardscanlan3419 that I understand and know, no problem with that, it's the arrogance that was showed during the process which needs to change. Things can be done in a classier manner.
The NZRU have been a shambles especially towards Foster but I thought appointing the new coach early was the correct move especially after Foster had already declared he didn’t want to be the coach after the RWC already. The public and the media have largely calmed down and the whole replace Foster with Razor calls have largely disappeared because everyone now knows where everything stands. Foster can focus on the RWC without been harassed on the most part as there is no longer all these calls for Razor. The Foster vs Razor battle is now dead thanks to the early appointment after Foster made his intentions known earlier than that. Let’s all get behind Foster and the ABs to do the job this year and back Razor next year putting all the Foster vs Razor behind us.
