Scott Robertson has penned a goodbye letter to Crusaders faithful on his last day as an employee at Rugby Park.
The next All Blacks coach has thanked players and their families for their support and respect - and for keeping him accountable.
Robertson says so much of who he and his family is - and who he aspires to be - is linked to red and black.
“This week was my last at Rugby Park and boy does it feel strange to say that,” Robertson said in the message, shared by the Crusaders.
“My time as a Crusaders head coach is over and my focus has shifted to my ever-supportive family and my own development ahead of the next big challenge,” it continued.
