NZR CEO Mark Robinson Resigns

[sparky]

@tomk Odd thing for a CEO and an organisation to do. Be more think-skinned and take the criticism with humility.

[Kirwan]

Need to a CEO that can mend some fences that Robinson kicked over.

I love how much you hate the warriors

I've been hate watching them for 30 years, but this is our year.

the year to win, or just pile on more hate?

I'm hoping it's the year to win ... but likely it's the year to pile on more hate.

I don't know who was more nervous speaking at the AB announcement - Kirk or Robertson.

Might be good to have someone from outside of Rugby but versed in professional sport.

Don't follow cricket much, but from what little I've seen, NZ seems to have it's act together and pretty well run.

David White is former ceo of Auckland rugby, Blues, Wellington rugby and Hurricanes. Also had time at Bristol. Admittedly this was all 15+ years ago.

Tom Harrison is English and used to run the ECB.

Saw the headline and wondered if he's earmarked for the NZR role.

But the text in the statement about "new leadership" suggests new board may have pushed him.

Anyone got any goss?
