Having lifted silverware with the Crusaders in each season since he took charge in 2017, Robertson could not have wished for a more fitting farewell as he heads to join the All Blacks.
Technically this was a seventh successive success for the Crusaders if you include 2020 and 2021 when they won a domestic competition for New Zealand’s five teams during the Covid-19 pandemic.
And as has become customary post every one of the Crusaders’ above mentioned championship triumphs, Razor — as he is affectionately known — caps off his team’s successful seasons by breakdancing on the field with and around the trophy while his players cheer him on.
