An ex-NZR boss has called on 'out of touch' CEO Robinson to resign

Ex-New Zealand Rugby boss David Moffett has slammed current NZR CEO Mark Robinson, claiming he should return home from attending the Commonwealth Games in Britain and write his letter of resignation. Moffett led the NZR during the early years of the game turning pro, serving as CEO from 1996 to 2000.

Having since worked with NRL, Sport England and the Welsh Rugby Union, Moffett now lives in Canterbury and he weighed in on the chaos that has engulfed rugby in New Zealand in recent weeks with an appearance on Mike Hosking Breakfast, the Newstalk ZB radio show.

Robinson has come under fire for his handling of the fallout from the All Blacks’ 1-2 Test series loss to Ireland and his stewardship was heavily criticised in midweek by ex-team boss Steve Hansen, who claimed the relationship between players and the board was the worst it has ever been.

Now, Moffett has weighed in on the controversy, suggesting it is time for Robinson to quit following a messy episode for the NZR. “He [Robinson] should come back to New Zealand and while he is here, write his letter of resignation,” said Moffett.

“It’s debilitating for everyone, but especially the fans. If Robinson cared about the fans he would be here speaking directly to the fans and saying, ‘These are the mistakes we have made, this is what we are doing to correct it and I am going to be accountable’.

“How out of touch are these guys in New Zealand Rugby? Saying nothing is the least favourite option? He should be back here, fronting the media, holding up his hand – not leaving it up to guys like (Ian) Foster to front the media on this bloody shambles. It’s chaotic in there at the moment.

“Steve said that he might one day make a good CEO. Well, the CEO of New Zealand Rugby is not the place to learn how to be a CEO. You have to hit the ground running and your judgement has to be spot on. But the worst piece of judgement at the moment is the guy refuses to front the media. Foster’s got his own accountabilities, but the buck stops not with the board but with him [Robinson].”

Ex-All Blacks left confused after bizarre game strategy

TRACE HACKER'S CRYPTO RECOVERY IS A GENUINE CRYPTO RECOVERY COMPANY


It was a cold morning when I first realized the full extent of my loss. I had invested 150,000 euros into an online crypto platform, believing in their promises and the allure of quick financial success. But as the days passed, I discovered it was all a scam. My money was gone, and with it, my dreams of financial security.

The feeling of helplessness and devastation was overwhelming. I tried everything to recover my funds contacting authorities, searching for solutions online, and connecting with others who had been through similar scams—but nothing seemed to work. I felt completely lost, as though there was no way back.One Sunday, feeling utterly defeated, I decided to visit Grace Church in Dublin, Ireland. I was searching for some peace and comfort. During the service, I shared my story with the congregation, explaining how I had been scammed and lost everything. I didn’t expect much—just a chance to speak to someone.

Afterward, a fellow parishioner came up to me. He had been listening closely, and after hearing my situation, he shared that he had once been in a similar place.

He had fallen victim to a scam too, and like me, thought his money was gone for good. But someone had recommended a service called TRACE HACKER'S CRYPTO RECOVERY to him. He decided to reach out to them, and with their help, he had managed to recover his lost funds.

He suggested I contact them, believing they could help me too.

Though I was skeptical, I was also desperate, so I wrote down their contact information. That evening, I called TRACE HACKER'S CRYPTO RECOVERY. From the moment we spoke, I felt a sense of professionalism and empathy that I hadn’t encountered before. They didn’t treat me like just another case. They listened to my story, took my concerns seriously, and reassured me that they would do everything they could to help.The recovery process was detailed and transparent. They kept me updated regularly, explaining each step they were taking. Weeks passed, and though I was anxious, I held onto hope. Then, out of nowhere, I received the incredible news: TRACE HACKER'S CRYPTO RECOVERY had successfully recovered 95% of my 150,000 euros. It felt like a miracle. I couldn’t believe it. Thanks to the team at TRACE HACKER'S CRYPTO RECOVERY, I was able to regain my financial footing and rebuild emotionally. I’m now more cautious than ever, but I’m also deeply grateful.

Without the kind recommendation from that parishioner at Grace Church, I would never have found the help I so desperately needed.

Today, I’m on the path to full recovery, and I can confidently say that TRACE HACKER'S CRYPTO RECOVERY gave me a second chance.

Their dedication and expertise truly made all the difference in my life.
