Mark Robinson's underlined dealing with Covid-19 as the biggest challenge of his tenure as New Zealand Rugby chief executive.

Robinson will stand down at the end of the year, to move to Australia with family.

He was only three weeks into the job in 2020 when the pandemic hit - shutting down the game.

Newstalk ZB rugby commentator Elliott Smith says this is the right move.

"There's clearly a movement for change in New Zealand Rugby, Mark Robinson's got some family in Australia - so I think, ultimately, it's probably a good time for everyone to clear the decks."
