Early Edition with Kate Hawkesby

New Zealand Rugby chief executive Mark Robinson has stepped down from his role.  Robinson has been chief executive of NZR since January 2020, and will leave NZR at the end of this year.  In a statement, Robinson said he will join his family in Australia when he has finished in the job.  Halo Sport’s Simon Porter told Ryan Bridge he’d agree with Robinson’s assessment that he left the organisation a better place than he found it.  He says it’s been a pretty tough six years with Covid, and they’ve made some substantial changes and split the organisation, but hopefully its set itself up to be a bit more nimble as it moves forward.  LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
