Scott Robertson will coach the All Blacks from next year after Ian Foster leads New Zealand to this year's World Cup.

New Zealand Rugby (NZR) ended months of speculation on Tuesday, appointing the Crusaders coach to a deal which begins in 2024.

"To represent your country, as a coach or player, is the ultimate honour in sport and it's humbling to be given that opportunity. I can't wait," Robertson said.

NZR gave its intention to pick Foster's successor ahead of the World Cup in France, beginning September, breaking with convention.
