Scott Robertson is the most successful coach in Super Rugby history - leading the Crusaders to seven-back-to-back titles. 

He is also a firm favourite with the public – and is perhaps the most popular rugby coach we've ever had. 

But his transition from the red and blacks to leading the All Blacks hasn't been smooth sailing. The national side has posted three losses from seven matches – their latest being against the Springboks at the weekend. 

So what are the issues facing his side? Is there an easy fix – or is this a sign of long-term issues for rugby in this country? 

Today on The Front Page, we’re joined by Newstalk ZB’s sports news director Clay Wilson to help us unpack the losses.
