    Mark Robinson has closed his New Zealand Rugby chapter as he nears the beginning of his new gig with World Rugby

    Mark Robinson has closed his New Zealand Rugby chapter as he nears the beginning of his new gig with World Rugby


    His work as the global Chief of Rugby will begin in May, after finishing up as head of NZR late last year.

    His former post is still unfilled, as is the vacant All Blacks head coaching role.

    Robinson says he's proud of his six-year tenure - but the current state of his former employer is none of his concern.
