Description

In a shocking move, attack coach Leon MacDonald is departing the All Blacks, effective immediately. MacDonald has only been involved with the national side for five test matches, having been brought on board as an assistant to coach Scott Robertson ahead of the 2024 test season. Rugby reporter Jamie Wall joins Martin Devlin on It's Only Sport to dissect the news and how it may have come about.

Then, Devlin works through cuts from Robertson at his stand-up in Christchurch, where he continually affirms how 'great a coach and person' MacDonald is and that things 'simply weren't clicking' between the two.
