Mark Robinson: Outgoing New Zealand Rugby CEO on his resignation

Outgoing New Zealand Rugby boss Mark Robinson believes he's leaving the game in a better place than he found it. 

He's confirmed he will leave the job at the end of the year, bringing to an end a six-year tenure that started just before the Covid-19 pandemic. 

Robinson says he's proud of what's been achieved during a turbulent period. 

He told Mike Hosking that the next six months are critical for their role both domestically and internationally, with both their involvement in the establishment of international calendars and competitions as well as the opportunity they have to reset the financial model for the New Zealand game.  

Robinson likes to think those would both be signed off by the end of the year, and that in conjunction with his family moving over to Australia, makes him feel it’s time to move on.
