After previously voicing a strong opposition to NZ Rugby's eligibility rules for the All Blacks, coach Scott Robertson has made a u-turn.

Robertson made an appearance on the Rugby Direct podcast and revealed he'd changed his mind after having a year to think about it.

Currently, players can not be selected to play for the All Blacks if they're playing off shore. 

NZ Rugby Players Association CEO Rob Nichol says there's been a lot of discussion about Razor's stance.

"To be honest...they've been kind of on the same page and they've just come out, I think to reaffirm the fact that they are, and that we all are."
